HARRISON — The Historic Scribner’s Saw Mill and Homestead site is scheduled to open for tours from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day), and Saturday, June 4, on Jesse Mill Road.
People can learn about the “Sash” saw used to cut lumber, discover how to put together a barrel, watch the shingle mill slicing off shingles in the long shed, see the blacksmith operating the forge in the blacksmith shop, and tour the homestead, according to a news release from the mill.
The barn and ice houses also are open for self-guided tours.
This season volunteers will finish the recently raised timber framed building that is to serve as an exhibit shed. The shed will hold early items related to the mill that will tell the early history and stories of the mill.
There will be a working weekend June 3-5. Anyone interested in helping is welcome. There is much to do with installing the siding, windows, oxen shoeing sling and exhibit set up.
A $5 donation for each adult is requested.
