This was my family’s mill. Before it ever became a state park, my grandfather, Malcolm McConnell, and I would go out and visit Mose the caretaker. The McConnell and the Hartman families were both in New Castle nearby. Mose was born into slavery but his family moved north after the civil war. He lived at the mill unil his death in the mid 50’s. I met Mose when I was 5 and he was then about 100 years old in 1950. The families owning the mill promised Mose he could live in the owners house for all his days. The mill ceased operations in the late 1920’s I believe.
Thanks for the beautiful video and the trip down memory lane.
