Description
The Old Mill is located on Berry College campus Rome Ga. The mill boasts an iron hub Henry Ford had the hub moved to Berry where the wheel was rebuilt in 1930.
The wooden overshot waterwheel, considered one of the largest in the world at 42 feet in diameter, was constructed by student workers.. Water is piped directly from Berry's reservoir lake to the wheel. Once primed, the force of gravity is strong enough to push the water up the stone column, and over the wheel, causing it to turn.
During 1977 the wheel was completely rebuilt as a cooperative project involving Berry students, staff, alumni, and friends,
During 1985, physical plant staff and student volunteers restored the mechanism and made grinding of corn meal once again possible. The Old Mill is operated on special occasions .
