Along the Roaring Fork Nature Trail sits the homestead where Alfred Reagan once farmed over a century ago. Besides farming, Alfred also was a miller, a blacksmith, a shopkeeper, a carpenter, and a preacher!
Capturing energy from relatively low volume, high velocity streams, tub mills were well suited to the Appalachian mountainous terrain and could produce about a bushel of cornmeal a day.
