HARRISON — The historic 1847 Scribner’s Saw Mill and Homestead site is scheduled to close out this summer’s season from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, at Jesse Mill Road.

The season will end by inviting those who have antique or classic vehicles to join together with other antique auto enthusiasts who plan to be at the mill site.

According to a news release from the mill and homestead, there will be tours of the mill about how a sash saw operates and about the production of barrels for the local apple industry.

There also will be a tour of the 1850 Scribner homestead, its barn and ice house, and an opportunity to learn about the four generations of the Scribner family who lived in the house.

Although the blacksmith is unavailable, the blacksmith shop will be open for visitors to view the wooden hearth, the original bellows, and the axe collection on display. New this year is its Exhibit Shed.

A $5 donation for each adult is requested. For more information about the mill, visit scribnersmill.org.
