- 'The Old Fashioned Way' is an original SudburyTV program that celebrates modern people who use archaic tools and techniques. This episode features the Grist Mill at Longfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA. This Grist Mill was built by Henry Ford and is still fully operational, using water power exclusively to grind corn and wheat to make the cornmeal and flour used in the Wayside Inn restaurant.

Brilliant stuff!!!
I remember visiting my Mom's aunts and uncles in 1959 on their farms in Illinois.
They ground their own wheat and corn, milked their cows, and churned their own butter back then. Cooking oil was rendered from the slaughtered livestock. About the only things bought in from commercial producers were salt, sugar and a few misc. items. Water was hand-pumped up from shallow wells wherever it was needed. There were even hand pumps on the sink boards. Some didn't even have electricity. When it got dark, you went to bed.
Fresh from the field corn, potatoes, corn muffins, still warm eggs, and still warm milk, and fried chicken that had been butchered just an hour prior. It was sooooo good! Today, we've traded outstanding quality and flavor for efficiency and the economy of scale. Are we better off with the engineered pap that passes for food today?
I think the increase in Cancer and heart attack and all the funny sicknesses plaguing humanity show how far we have strayed from a healthy and nourishing diet. Genetically modified and highly processed foods are poison to the human body, now we have to contend with the damage 5G is going to cause.
Very well explained.. I always wondered how a gristmill and waterwheel worked.
My grandpa was the caretaker there for about 20 years! 50-60's
nice show thank you for iy john
Former resident of the Pine Lakes neighborhood in Sudbury.Wonderful story!
Interesting this miller doesn’t use a damsel in this mill to agitate the shoe during operation. Hope he continues to use very clean grain so the grain flow from the shoe continues to flow evenly giving a good consistent final product. Good luck there and best in the future.
Great presentation and explanation! Thanks
Just a gentle old-fashioned admonition: gentlemen still take off their hats indoors.
Thank you
Very nice and interesting !!!
Please show us the Henry ford knife gifted to one of the children of the builders of the water mill. It was mentioned by another channel. It was returned to the mill once the owner had passed on.

@Jackson Cayson it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Bentley Isaiah Happy to help xD
Note the brass scoop, previously they were made of wood. No sparks because of all the dust in the mill. I saw no cats.
I grew up in Sudbury!
My dad used to stand Sudbury market in the 80's and 90's he sold shoes do you remember the 2 old spinster sisters who sold eggs and samphire when it was in season?
I left there in 73 then visited summers until 1980 or so.
The mill was old fashioned but the bakery was not at all. I was expecting a wood fired oven and so on. Fun to watch anyways. 😀
He said he was using French Buhr stones but conglomerate millstones were shown.
water rubs those rocks to make corn dust by dam
