We would like to thank the various museum staff, curators, guides, and archivists who have made much of this work possible. Thank you.
NOTE: Many of the black and white marginal illustrations throughout our website (as above right) are taken from a lovely old book, Little Old Mills, by Marion Nicholl Rawson (New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., 1935). The illustrations are all sketched by Ms. Dawson. We believe the book to be out of copyright, but if we are in error, please let us know.
