The water-powered mill at the Daloz Mill & Farm is the last mill in Hancock, NH. The mill site was originally
developed in 1798, and the current mill was rebuilt in 1900 to
manufacture boxes and barrels for the apple trade.
It has the equipment and water power to do so again.
We are forming a group, called The Friends of the Daloz Mill, of interested persons and experts to help bring this historic structure back to work and to use the site for its energy and
community-building potential.
--assess and address the structural needs of the building and dam
--inventory, repair, maintain, and
operate the machinery and
equipment
--makin’ boxes...
--renew and maintain the power train from turbine to pulleys and belts, shafts, and bearings--ever poured a
Babbitt bearing?
--inventory, organize and create educational displays about mill history, water-power, old tools, energy and mathematics, etc.etc.
--design, produce, and market
products--boxes, barrel tops, logos...
--landscape, stonework, artistic woodworking
--explore public relations, outreach, website, tours, fund-raising, grants; coordination with educational
institutions--Conval, Antioch, Univ. So. NH, etc.
