This stone wheel, found to the north of Rose Hill, was originally used in the grist mill located behind the house on Cahoon Creek. A similar stone lies to south of the home, near the steps leading to the creek. These two stones would grind grain when placed on top of each other and rotated. The grooves in the stone allowed the milled grain (flour) to move off the wheel and onto the floor where it was generally bagged for use.Download Original File
