This book will be a treasure to all those interested in old mills as well as to the many guests who attended Creative Health Institute in Hodunk and have know the author and visited the old mill first hand.
From first page of book:
From legal records, the Abstracts and Deeds, one can reach back to 1820 and find that the water power site was first employed after the property was granted by the state of Michigan, Fee Simple, about 1813.
History has it that an earlier Mill, much smaller, operated until it was destroyed by fire.
Consideration of the present structure was based on the fact that the water flow and site had been proven sufficiently to spend three years constructing the present building, which is 40 x 60, 5 stories high, and with additions added by the current owner.
The structure is architecturally superior to most of the many mills I have visited.
After becoming caught up in what has been a lifelong interest in old mills, I started collecting the Mill Art now displayed on the top floor.
The range of art examples date back over 80 years. Assistance for the displaying, photographing and writing is by John Grant.
