It's
spring.
A
late
afternoon
shower
has
just
ended.
Now
the
evening
sky
is
announcing
the
end
of
another
hard
day's
work
at
the
old
grist
mill.
Inside,
George
Eckert
lights
another
lamp
as
he
shouts
advice
to
his
son
over
the
roar
of
the
grinding
stones.
At
the
door,
a
local
merchant
gestures,
by
hand,
to
the
miller
that
he
is
leaving
another
barrel
of
grain
as
payment.
Soon, the strain of power that had been felt in every timber will come to rest and the squeal of heavy wooden gears and massive wheel will also give into the night. The Osceola Mill will close for business.
Water powered mills such as this were an important part of colonial life. They were found throughout the countryside on just about every stream with sufficient power. I encountered this beautifully restored grist mill and forge in the heart of the rich farmland of Lancaster County and I painted it exactly as I found it. The mill is quiet now and, except for the sounds of an occasionally passing buggy, it stands as a wonderful silent monument to days gone by, and a reminder of our rich heritage and life in rural America.
