life and honoring owners who continually adapted the mill to 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

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.
