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
