Donald Zimmer with
Paula and Bob Sorrells |
At the January 9 CCASM meeting Donald Zimmer shared what he has learned about an early eighteenth century mill near Port Tobacco. This included information about different types of water mills in Maryland as well as information from land deeds that helped identify the location. The mill was somewhere on the property of Bob and Paula Sorrels. Don and the Sorrells enlisted the help of Steve Lohr who found a brick foundation corner. The investigation is continuing.
Paula and Bob brought some of the artifacts recovered as well as displays of what has been done. And as with many of his research projects Don created a painting. This time one of the forgotten mill.
