Corn

For the teaching aspect of this assignment, I returned to the old mill to discuss the process of making corn meal in the 1800's.

The first ingrediant needed for corn meal is a piece of corn.

The corn would then be taken to a mill similar to this one.

Inside the mill would be a large grain grinding stone that would mash the corn into small flour like pieces.

The corn meal would then be bagged and sold in a country store similar to the one shown in the picture.
