Eighth Annual Tide Mill Conference

Author: Bud Warren

Tidal power was a key element of the industrial scene from medieval London to 19th-century New England and it’s being harnessed again in 21st century Maine. Historians, an archaeologist, environmentalists and a 6th generation Maine sawyer will share how they explore and plan to implement this technology. Join other participants on a low-tide visit to several tide mill sites exploring how to study the way topography was used and how water was controlled to by tidal millwrights.
