Union Mills Homestead
We visited the Union Mills Homestead on Saturday.
Here's a watercolor of the Homestead.
The mill was built in 1797. The labor on the mill cost $86.00.
I was fascinated by this place.
There is a blacksmith's shop, a manor house, a tannery, bark shed, miller's house, and open fields.
On the side of one building is a unique sun dial, which I hope to show you soon, but I'm waiting for it to stop raining long enough to get a clear picture!
The mill gets its water supply from a mill race drawn from the Big Pipe Creek.
The Homestead is located on Littlestown Pike, north of Westminster, in historic Union Mills.
Old mills are picturesque. I will have to collect photos of several of them. Maybe I could make a 2010 calendar of them?
What subjects do you like for your picture taking?

Comments
Picture taking, photography, is a real art form. I am an amateur, but I think in a "working" retirement, it is something I would like to do more and more, to hone my skills.
It gives me pleasure and I feel connected to God, nature, and people, when I do it.
Patti, again, thanks for your comment. It is a blessing to live in the East, where there are so many historic sites like this one.
