Water-Powered Mill

Industry
4
The waterwheel, invented centuries ago, was the first mechanical device used to harness power. It powered early Ford manufacturing plants in this region. Gristmills made various flours and cornmeal, and sawmills produced lumber. This water-powered mill replica was built by Taylor citizens in a volunteer effort.
