Becca Berg and her family are renovating the Bray's Mill site. They visited with Karen Wyrick Smith, Museum Director, to review photos of the site donated by Nancy Martin. By 1854 a water-powered

mill was constructed at Bray's. This industry was the first permanent installation marking the beginning of Bray's hamlet.

Nearby in 1889 Tom Bray constructed a roller mill near the original water-powered grist mill. During harvest there was always a back-log of work for the mills. Overnight camping at the mill site was common as people slept under wagons and large bushes for protection from the falling dew and mosquitoes. About this time Will Morrow rebuilt the wooden water wheel, and helped in overhauling the older mill.
