Summer Picnic and Tour

August 22, 2015

10:30 am-3 pm

 

Join us for a tour of the historic Thompson's Mill in Shedd, Oregon!
Following the tour we will gather for a bring-your-own picnic lunch on the
grounds of the state park where the Mill is located.

 

What to do:

 

1.  Make a reservation:

Transportation is provided in private vehicles for up to 15 people.  Please
RSVP to Kristen at kjocums at icloud.com or at 706-718-8055 to ensure a ride
and to make any arrangements for guide dogs, wheelchairs, etc.  

 

2.  Bring your own picnic.  Bring a lunch and drink for our after-tour group
picnic.  Two medium-sized coolers will be available for us to share.  They
will not accommodate large trays, so plan to bring a compact-sized lunch
that will serve yourself and any children attending with you.

 

3.  Look for more details next week.  Once we have reservations in, we will
contact you about final transportation, tour and picnic arrangements.

 

>From the website for the Mill:

  

Thompson's Mills is a unique survivor of times past, chronicling 150 years
of Oregon rural life and honoring the owners who adapted the mill to the
changing world around it. It is the oldest 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.

There are no fees to visit. The main tour of the Mill is ADA compliant.
