Grist Mill Stone, Eustis, Maine - Old Agricultural Equipment on Waymarking.com

Some grist mill stones were produced from one large stone, while other grist mill stones were pieced together from separate stones. The grain was ground between two of these stones, which were usually turned by the power harnessed from a river.
