The rain today is helping to melt the snow and filling the streams and rivers, which would add more flow to this old 1870 mill.

Rain fell most of the day, helping to melt away the snow, causing extra water to flow into streams. This rustic old wooden mill sits on a stone dam that was built in 1850 and the stream would provide plenty of flow to turn the wheel for grinding flour like it did in the past.

The nice day had some people raking up leaves while others were out taking a drive to view the colorful leaves, even if some areas are past peak and the windy days are stripping some trees bare. This old mill was built in 1850.

The Dells Mill near Augusta, WI is celebrating its 150th anniversary as it started milling wheat for farmers in 1864. When the wheat production moved westward, the owners refitted the building to mill flour and grind mill.
Built along the dells of Bridge Creek, the base of the mill was carved into the sandstone bedrock with water turbines powering the milling process. The original log dam was replaced with a concrete dam in 1919.
The fourth generation mill owner just passed away in August of this year so the future of this beautiful old mill is in question.
