Wissahickon Watershed Assn. Hosts Open House At Evans-Mumbower Mill July 17
|
|
Bring your family and friends to join the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association at the Evans-Mumbower Mill on July 17th between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. The Mill is near the intersection of Swedesford and Township Line Roads in Upper Gwynedd, Montgomery County. The Open House is free of charge but donations are welcomed.
A special Wheels & Gears tour will be offered for this Open House that includes an in-depth, technical tour featuring the mechanical and hydraulic principles of the Mill.
After 81 years, the Evans-Mumbower Mill’s waterwheel is finally turning and the millstones are grinding again. WVWA’s dedicated Mill volunteers have worked for 24 years to achieve this milestone.
The Wissahickon Creek was an important center of industry providing waterpower for over seventy mills in the 18 and 19th centuries. The Evans-Mumbower is the only remaining mill in Montgomery County that is operational and open to the public. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Please call 215-646-8866 or send email to: info@wvwa.org.
