The Sorghum Mill 

In 2005, I believe, Rock River Thresheree got it's own sorghum mill. Jim Tesch gave it to the park and it was hauled over from his place in Lake Mills. The park grows it's own sorghum and then mashes it, boils it down and puts it in jars to sell. These are some pictures taken at the mill.
