  • Ray D’Alessio takes us on a visit to Talbot County for an inside look at a Georgia icon. A fully operational water powered gristmill, and the man who's kept the stones grinding for nearly a century.

    Hamburg State Park in Washington County has an operational mill. The "Friends of Hamburg" operate it a few times a year and sell the products. I assume that is the other operational water-powered one in Georgia.

    We keep saying "back in the day". Stay humble - the way things are heading - we may be back to depending on the old ways.

    75 years ago there were dozens of these mills all over here, every little stream that could support a mill had one. The big corporations and mega ag put them out of business. Too many environmental regulations now to build a dam.
