Wonderful texture

[Kathy]

These are well weathered and probably well used, and have nice texture to show for it.

I wonder how old they are and how many loaves of bread they made :)
Great find and a wonderful bit of history and heritage

@lanikyea @grammyn @joysabin @randystreat @4rky Thanks. It’s hard to know exactly how old they are, but the plaque in front of them says, “In pioneer days, wheat was ground on these millstones. Display provided by Association of Operative Millers.” The area was first (officially) opened to settlers in the mid 1850’s, so they could conceivably date back that far. But they might not be that old.
