What comes to my mind is Old Sturbridge Village (Sturbridge, MA). We visited on our honeymoon and again 35 years later (retracing a few places, including Niagara Falls). I remember on our first visit that the man running the gristmill said they used to sell the flour from it, but when the FDA insisted they line the (wood) chutes with stainless steel, etc., they stopped selling it and just use it themselves. The people working at the village really “get into” the realm of it, with cooking going on for the workers, etc. I felt they would almost be happy closing the gates and just getting on with life in the environment.
Well, I was in the U.S. Capitol building a few times. Oh wait, I thought you asked about the Grift Mill.
But yes, I was in this state park in Napa Valley right in wine country. It even has a campground but almost impossible to get in. Had some nice walks and toured the mill and could even buy cornmeal ground there labeled “not for human consumption” because I assume it had not been through some certification process.
But it wasn’t old when I worked at one my grandfather owned, many years ago
