HARRISON — The historic Scribner’s Saw Mill and Homestead on Jesse Mill Road is to be open from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7.
People can tour the mill and learn about the “Sash” saw was used to cut lumber, and how to put together a barrel. They can watch the shingle mill slice off shingles in the long shed, see the blacksmith operating the forge in the blacksmith shop, and tour the homestead.
The barn, chicken and ice houses also will be open for self-guided tours.
Special this year will be the mill’s celebration of Maine’s 200th birthday with a “Back to the Past” event on Aug. 14. To help celebrate, the 3rd Maine will join the mill with an encampment.
Antique vehicles, antique power equipment, Harrison’s antique pumper, many types of exhibitors, and a breakfast and lunch food booth provided by the Masons of the Crooked River Lodge in Bolsters Mills are to be offered.
Scribner’s Mill Preservation will be following CDC guidelines as they change. Those who have not been vaccinated are asked to follow suit and wear a mask.
A $5 donation for each adult is requested. For more information, visit scribnersmill.org.
