McConnells Mill Heritage Festival September 24, 2011

History is in motion at the 19th Annual Heritage Festival at McConnells Mill State Park. The festival celebrates the operational time period of the historical gristmill from 1852 to 1928, and costumed vendors will display crafts inspired by this time. Bluegrass music and free tours of the mill will be offered. The historic gristmill houses the fascinating machinery that ground the grain for the community surrounding Slippery Rock Gorge.
