This is anything I hadn’t observed yet: The waterwheel on the mill is turning again! This summer time, funding from the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation allowed the National Park Service to restore the wheel, replace the supports and dredge the pond, which had overgrown with vegetation. It takes a little even though for the wheel buckets to collect enough water to make a turn, so it only does this every few minutes.
