That Mill Wheel is in amazingly good shape considering how long it has been there. I wonder if the large round stone wheel is laying around there somewhere. They would take a huge rock or stone and carve it into a wheel which they would use to grind corn and wheat. It's amazing how powerful water/Hydro is. The weight of the water running over those blades can turn that heavy wheel and in turn, using gears, can run a grist mill, heavy drills and other machinery. As always, enjoyed you and your video. Love that Cubs cap!
Chris, this is quite a find! It's an artist paradise. Just think about the work this mill produced with no carbon emissions! The water wheel looks good enough to be used today. Great Job! Good idea with what your plans are for this channel. We can surely use some beauty.
Yeah, I've got a 2005 Ford Transit that looks like spent the last few years in the sea and this (at least 70 years of neglect) water wheel looks like it would be perfectly fine lifted and sat back on a frame. (And "d lay bets the frame would decay before the wheel would.)
Chris, this happen to remind me of how the mill and textile industries thrived across America during the turn of the 20th century from the 1800s. I realize much of the textiles were up north, but my grandmother worked at place here in Tennessee called The Standard Knitting Mill (later, Delta Apparel). The 5 story structure now remains abandoned and has done so since the early to mid 90s, but they made a lot of underwear and tee shirts for the Fruit of The Loom brands. Go check it out if u ever happen to pass by here in Knoxville. Love your videos. I really enjoy em
That was so cool. I love finding things abandoned out in the woods. So glad you decided to put it on YT even if its a short video. Thanks for the adventure!
This is in the Mark Twain National Forest. Which has 1.5 million acres of National Forest lands in the state of Missouri. The Ozark National Forest is located in Arkansas.
absolutely love your videos!! you have inspired me to open a third channel and do the exact same here in saskatchewan and then all over canada as i know of some amazing hidden gems. thanks for the inspiration and keep up the awesome work!! i would love to find these spots after covid and bring my rc scale trail trucks to play and film
I know you're familiar with NJ. They just replaced the big water wheel, also metal at the Red Mill Museum Village in Clinton NJ. Was a little disappointed it wasn't wooden.
Beautiful find, Chris. I wonder, though was that the original wheel or the replacement that was hauled in in sections and assembled on sight? Probably the replacement wheel, because it is still in the water. Thanks for sharing and stay safe, I like the idea of a daily vlog, they're very interesting.
Do any of you know if this is accessible to disabled? I can walk but with a cane short distance or walker longer distances. I love water wheels, especially if they’re in the Ozarks lol. Thank you
Chris, just keep in mind "all the king's horsemen" and you should be ok. You average 2 videos a week. That's perfect with me, especially if one lands on a Sunday. J
There's a gold stamper about 30k around the (Wellington NZ) coast from me that was built in the 1860's... 90 years later a book on the gold of Cape Terewhiti (we pronounce wh as an F in NZ) had some pictures of the stamper... We biked up the valley to the site and one of the stamper rods (heavy but movable) was still within a foot of the photo 40 years back (so I moved it back for the L of it). The last time I went there the furnace had rusted off the boiler but still much the same... Since then they built a large track for the wind turbines (largely destroying the historic culverts etc from the original cart tracks from the 1800's (hey progress...)
So happy to see it hasn't been graffitied or vandalized.
A rare sight!

The grinding stone
That area where the water is coming out of the rocks is just beautiful. The whole are is amazing and that giant wheel just adds to it.
What a beautiful word for a town. How sad it didn’t thrive, as most mill towns haven’t 😪 And I agree with Lamont👍🏻
She's with me
Lamont At Large 🥰🥰🥰
Just be yourself Chris your perfect in your style.
Bravo Chris! You have the best eye around and your channels are a beautiful capture of the past.
That's so cool!! Must be a thrill when finding things. Thanks for showing it!
Such a beautiful stream. ❤️👊
Love the Wheel! It's majestic and beautiful. Reminds me of the Pirate running on the wheel. Great Find.
It's great to see your face, especially out in the thick.. Thank you for sharing and given us all parts of your time 🤙
THANK YOU CHRIS,,,GREAT FIND! SAFE TRAVELS..

Surprised it hasn't rusted and collapsed. Quality Steel, not like my Toyota Tacoma.

stubs 1 I live in a van down by the river. No rust at all.
Cast iron perhaps? Cast won't rust but if you hit it hard enough it'll snap.
I could sit by that stream All Day!. Thanks Chris!
That's a big water wheel you definitely stumbled upon a hidden gem
Very interesting. So if the town “closed down” circa 1945, it’s amazing that almost all signs of it have disappeared in only 75 years.

Definitely worthy of a video. Thanks for posting it.
That water coming out of the rock side was pretty interesting. Too bad it was gated would have been quite the adventure.
Daily vlogs is where its at
Never ceases to amaze, the things and places you find. Great job, Chris.

Please do more of these videos with this second channel. They’re just as interesting. Love it!
That is awsome find its a old mill
You weren't too far from my hometown of potosi. I enjoy your videos. My mom's maiden name was Turner... Possibly some relation.
absolutely love your videos!! you have inspired me to open a third channel and do the exact same here in saskatchewan and then all over canada as i know of some amazing hidden gems. thanks for the inspiration and keep up the awesome work!! i would love to find these spots after covid and bring my rc scale trail trucks to play and film
The Wandering Woodsman would LOVE that place.
Spelunking ❤️
Be cool to see that wheel pulled out and restored
awesome video i love the obscure stuff bro
You're in my state . Can't believe that wheel is still in good shape and upright .
That is very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chris, what a cool find, thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖
The best channel on CZcams. Period.
I love the Ozarks in MO. That water wheel is awesome. I always enjoy your videos.
That's pretty wild!!
Beautiful video!!
Pretty cool to see, all the wheels I ever seen in person was wood.
The teeth on that drive are surprisingly sharp.
Keep it up! Love the exploration of yesteryear! Darren and Debbie Halifax Canada
Beautiful area! Very interesting! Thanks, Chris!
That is crazy 😜
I know you're familiar with NJ. They just replaced the big water wheel, also metal at the Red Mill Museum Village in Clinton NJ. Was a little disappointed it wasn't wooden.
This is a real hidden gem, thank you!
thanks a great video
So cool. I would love to find something like that driving along.
Kind of like the Pelton wheel.... great interesting video! Thanks...
I would love to have that and put it back into service!
absolutely freaking awesome
That’s not the one jack sparrow ran on in pirates of the Caribbean is it haha lol
So glad it’s still up right at least
I’ve seen several of these around SC used to power cotton gins and textile mills.
Beautiful find, Chris. I wonder, though was that the original wheel or the replacement that was hauled in in sections and assembled on sight?

Great video. That wheel is really cool
Cool...one of my favorites. I have family in general area
Very Sad .............you have to restore it.
Awesome Chris!,,,,,,, love it!
Love this stuff thease channels are great i find stuff like this more intresting then any thing id love to go if it wasent 500 or so miles away
My great grandmother generation , i got her wedding dress and wedding photo oh and brownie camera
Captain Jack Sparrow left it here. OMG! There's a "Turner" too. I immediately thought of Jack Sparrow before he even said "Turner"! LOL. Such irony!
love to own that wheeel and put back to work for hydro elctric project on a river
Very cool find in the woods.
You should go to the swinging bridges near Lake of the Ozark, MO.
A good place to build a house right next to the water
So cool!
Amazing
Pirates of the Caribbean come to mind
Funny. It looks like the wheel from the 2nd Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.
Have you heard of yonkers Oklahoma?
Do any of you know if this is accessible to disabled? I can walk but with a cane short distance or walker longer distances. I love water wheels, especially if they’re in the Ozarks lol. Thank you
Neat👍
Let's trade lives.
Seems that water loss caused the water wheel to be inoperable so the people needed to move on from the location.
Can i come along of one of your Fantastic trecking.
So cool the wheel is still their up hear i would be taken out so no idiots get hurt on it
25 feet high, is it 25 feet across?
The Ozarks is loaded with big springs like that.
In Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Johnny Depp who plays Jack Sparrow was running on one of the Water Wheel in the movie
Sears used to sell them
Chris, just keep in mind "all the king's horsemen" and you should be ok. You average 2 videos a week. That's perfect with me, especially if one lands on a Sunday. J
What’s left of industrial America
👍✌
very little rust after 100 years,,, is that because it is iron, and not steel?
Amazing Video
🥀🥀🇮🇳🥀🥀
Early power mill...not flour mill..power...
Make it work again
