Comments
This walk will start at the Thompson's Mill State Heritage Site and walk along peaceful country roads to Shed Oregon and back. Thompson's Mill is a unique survivor of things past, Chronicling 160 years of Oregon rural life and honoring owners who continually adapted the mill to the changing world around it. It is the last water-powered mill in the state and its turbines can be seen in action on guided tours. A water right that predates statehood produces the water flow that still runs the milling machines for demonstrations today. A tour of the mill will follow the walk. folks can bring a sack lunch to enjoy near the parking area and mill.
