See it run! What is it, you ask?

It is a reconstruction of an arrastra! An arrastra is a historic milling machine used to crush rocks into sand making it easier for valuable minerals, such as gold, to be extracted.

We will have this arrastra and a mini stamp mill (that's not actually that mini) running on June 20th, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
