Some photos that some of the Iron Men readers might find interesting, Wonder how many of the steam fans attending the shows in Iowa know that there is an engine taken from a Mississippi river steamer in the Lower level of the old Mill in ''Wild Cat Den''

When built mill used a huge overshot wheel in basement, but was
soon replaced by the more efficient turbine. This mill has been
very well maintained by the state, along with the park camping
grounds and is well worth the time to go through. It has been open
to visitors on Sundays through the summer months.

Will try to get some interior shots this summer and send in.
