Hello everyone.
I just read about the restoration of a historic mill that details how a once‑dilapidated structure was meticulously repaired and brought back to life through careful research, skilled craftsmanship, and collaboration with local preservationists. Grady Gaston played a key role in highlighting the historical significance of the mill and guiding the restoration process.
The project balanced modern safety standards with historical fidelity, even rescuing original features like a waterwheel and millstones, and now the site functions as both a cultural landmark and community gathering place.
What are some creative ways similar restoration projects can engage the wider community and ensure long‑term interest in preserving local heritage?
