Bobby Ricketts and with his dad Danny Ricketts next to the reassembled water wheel. Picture taken by Joey Ricketts, Bobby's son.

This is a vintage picture of another mill in the northeast. This wheel measures 10' wide by 6' in diameter. The water wheel we discovered is 16' wide and was once 8' in diameter!

Danny Ricketts stands next to one of the excavated water wheel rims with two attached spokes.

These are pictures of the water wheel while it was on display at the Danville Science Center in 2004.
