Why you should go…
Blue Ox Millworks operates as both a real millwork shop, producing custom trim for historic building restorations, and a walk-through living-history park. Guided tours show blacksmithing, printing and woodworking on 19th-century machinery still running via overhead belts. The nonprofit historic-village side of the operation also trains veterans and at-risk youth in traditional trades.
