schech millとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Schech Mill is located in Beaver Creek Valley State Park in the U.S. state of Minnesota in the Driftless Area—an area in the American Midwest noted for its deeply carved river valleys. It is one of three watermills in Minnesota still operating solely with water power and the only one to have its original millstone. Built by John Blinn in 1876, it was purchased by a Minneapolis miller, Michael Schech who had emigrated from Bavaria, Germany. The mill produced cornmeal, rye buckwheat, wheat flour, graham flour, and whole wheat cereal, which was sold in Caledonia and Houston, Minnesota. In 1922 a concrete dam was built to replace the original wooden one.
