The final countdown to my annual open house starts today. My art for the day is a new reproduction that I will have available at my open house. My family lived in the home that was at one time the old "Blue Ball Tavern" built nearby the mill. Located in Bloom/Greenfield Township, Rock Mill is Ohio's oldest and largest gristmill. Situated on the upper falls of the Hocking River, this historical mill has six stories with two below the grade level. It will be powered once again, by a 26foot overshot water wheel with a 30 foot long mill race cut through solid sandstone. It is currently under restoration. If you would like to donate or volunteer in this effort please contact:

A portion of each sale of my reproduction will benefit this worthy cause. Until after my open house, I hope that you each have a great week.
