Welcome to the Joinerville Feed and Seed exhibit, where you can see a gristmill used in Kilgore during the 1930s. This mill was used to grind corn into meal. Farmers would bring their corn to the miller, who would grind it and return some of the ground corn to the farmer in exchange for the service. This was a common practice in the past, before the widespread availability of gristmills in communities. The exhibit also features a mortar and pestle, used before the invention of gristmills to grind grains into meal.
From here, continue to the front of the museum.
This is also a good opportunity to use the restrooms, as the museum only has two stalls in each of the boys' and girls' restrooms. If the students are shopping, this is the time to do that as well. Each teacher will have a bag for the student purchases to be placed in while the tour continues after shopping.
