Worth the visit it's a new place to tour and a great museum you can really see the old milling equipment and how it worked. I didn't see it myself but I read there is a milling demonstration every Saturday.

Great work from over 200 years ago still milling Saturdays at 1pm. Must see if you like automation history. Oliver Evans designer drawings still onsite from 1800's
