newlin+grist+mill

We went to the Newlin Grist Mill for a trip with the third graders. They went to the water part and we went to the colonial part. We saw how a water wheel works and the gears and the mill stones. Millstones are the stones that grind the corn or wheat into flour. And we saw 4 other ways to make flour. We also toured the Miller's house and saw a blacksmith.

The water wheel below is a overshot. With the overshot the water is poured from above putting force down on it and making it turn.There is also a under shot where there is a creek, lake, river what ever you want to call it flowing under it and pushing it.
