Dick's Mill. Lets explore the equipment inside a mill. This mill could grind corn and process wheat.

Nestled on the banks of the Montauk creek in Cooper County sits a weathered old structure. Inside is the remnants of a time gone past. Dick's Mill is scheduled to be moved to the Missouri River Valley Steam Engine show grounds near Boonville Missouri.
Fundraising efforts are underway to help off set the cost of moving the mill. Soon the equipment inside will be restored and made operational again and visitors to the mill will be able to learn about the way food was processed in the "old days".
Our adventure today includes a tour of the mill and the equipment that remains inside.
These mills were the original "green" energy manufacturing plants. There is so much history associated with these old grist mills and each one has it's own story to tell. Join me as we explore water mills all over the country.

Welcome to Millin' Around with Jim Viebrock.
In this video blog series I travel all around the country re-visiting the old mills that I have photographed for more than 30 years. These sites have interesting history and are nestled in some of the most picturesque locations in the country. I'll talk about the unique features of each structure and the use of the topography to create energy, I'll share the stories of human success and trials, how the mill operated and how each mill impacted the communities that grew alongside them. I'll talk about how these mills were used during the civil war, why they were captured or burned and by who. These fascinating locations are true survivors and their stories are worthy of telling. Come with me on a beautiful journey of folklore, history and engineering, not to mention some of the most beautiful and amazing locations.
