The steel wheel is still in place although most of the other equipment has been removed. *Update: The steel mill wheel seen in the picture cannot be the original. The original wheel was used for scrap during the Second World War. I know this to be true because the old timers that lived there in the late 1960s and early 1970s told me this. I lived in the big house across the street from the mill during this time. Herbert W. Childs 03/30/2010*

The mill is located in an area locally known as Moore's Store, an early community that grew up around this well preserved example of early industrial America.

"Therefore we will pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power.
