I remember my family taking me here and several other mills when I was a child. I have always been fascinated with mills and old time machinery. This is one of the most memorable ones and also probably one of the closest to my home in St. Louis. I need to make plans to go back sometime on the next couple years.
I have two griss mill stones both are made out granite and both are 36" in diameter and one is 8" thick and one is 12" thick. About how much does each weigh?
That would be hard to say without actually weighing them but, I'm told that the smaller stone would weigh somewhere between 1200 to 1500 pounds and the larger stone will top 2000 pounds easily. Thank you for watching my videos.
The segmented millstone developed after the quarry vein depleted. Metal banding salvaged years of scrap rubble dumps by European stone mason artists. It is a shame to see banded millstones exposed to outdoor weather, when the bands rust apart very are rebanded.
And that is how flour and corn meal is made in the Ozarks of Missouri!
Thank you for watching my videos! More to come.
Those wooden augers are amazing
I know right? It is amazing to watch these old buildings operate. Thank for watching my videos.
If you guys ever get up to SE Wisconsin, I would be more than happy to give you a tour of the Dundee Mill, as I am the lead maintainer/millwright.

The mill is in amazing shape and the current caretaker is knowledgeable and passionate about the mill. I highly recommend visiting the mill.
I remember fishing the mill pond and spillway that was a long time ago.
The mill operator used to have fishing poles available for his patrons to use while he milled their product. I think that was genius.
The degree of automation is amazing thanks.

The purpose of these videos is to educate people, document the mill and its history. Information like this is very helpful. Thank you.
