Vacation - Fun and Educational

Vacations can be fun and educational.  On this leg of our trip, we learned that water is very powerful.  When our nation was young, water was not just used for drinking, bathing, cleaning and food preparation.  Early Americans harnessed the power of water to work for them.  This preserved mill provided us a glimpse into the lives of early Americans and showed us the great power of water.

the kids were allowed to touch it.

Dad investigates.

Brothers investigate the canal.

Oh, the power of water.
