Liz,
 
Try contacting Graue Mill in Hinsdale, IL.  It is a standard field trip
for every grade school in the area.  They mill their own corn meal and
sell it at the gift shop.  It is the only corn meal that I use both at
home and when I do historical reenactments - because it is good and I
want to support the site.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] grist mill programs
 
The Newport Restoration Foundation is in the process of developing
programming related to an 1812 grist mill located at our Prescott Farm
site in Middletown, RI.    Currently, we offer group tours of the mill
but would like to start providing programs for a variety of ages
including school groups and elderhostel groups.  I'm wondering if anyone
has suggestions of mill programs and activities that have been
successful at other sites?  
 
Thanks.
 
Liz
