Bear’s
Mill hosts from mills across U.S.
Bear’s Mill hosted over 100 guests from mills all over the United
States last Saturday, October 22, 2016. Two large coach buses brought
the intrepid visitors, who were in the Miami Valley for four days of
touring mills and other historic sites. The occasion was the
Annual Conference of SPOOM, (Society for Preservation of Old Mills). At
Bear’s Mill, “SPOOMERS” were treated to a pulled pork sandwich lunch
catered by the Merchant House, and the Friends of Bear’s Mill Board
rolled out the green carpet on the north lawn of the mill for the
special event. Terry Clark, Master Miller, showed off the
original grinding equipment in Bear’s Mill which impressed the tourists
greatly because so many mills across the country have been stripped of
equipment. Other mills on the tour were: Clifton Mill, Staley
Mill, Tipp Roller Mill and Rock Mill, which is in Lancaster, Ohio and
was recently rehabilitated after 100-years of abandonment. Garst
Museum, Dayton History at Carillon and many more historic places
impressed the visitors as they learned about the world-changing
contributions of local leaders and inventors in this area of
Ohio. For more pictures, visit www.bearsmill.com.
