Family tradition keeps steam powered sawmill running for over 120 years | Bartell's Backroads

I hope they are able to keep it going for many more generations. I love the idea of families handing down traditions. Too many young people today don't value things like that.

Those gift boxes look great, you never toss one away, you just repurpose it for something else

Dear P.C. Maybe you should watch channel Mr. Shoptaw who did a lot of videos about this great steam powered mill. Best regards, luck and health.

This is my cup-of-tea. Beware of the younger generation trying to change things. You watch...somehow, sometime, someway. someone will eventually destroy this uniqueness. Human beings are destructive creatures. Meanwhile...enjoy !!
