Here is another view of the Old Mill with the mining town of Rainbow Ridge in the background. Yesterday's image when originally posted was reversed, this slide shows that the water wheel was on the side towards the Mark Twain Dock and during the rehab for the Fantasmic! stage, they moved the mill closer to the Mark Twain dock and reversed the location of the water wheel. I still like the Frontier aspect of Tom Sawyer Island at this time with ladies in dresses walking up dirt paths.

Another nice image! Has anyone ever seen a photo of the interior of the mill? I assume that there was a grindstone, and maybe some bags of flour, and an air-hockey table. This is yet another bit of vanished Disneyland that I could have seen for myself and didn't. Arg!
one of the early black and white Disneyland promo films shows the interior and actually has a guy working the grist mill.
not sure if it was corn or flour but the guy sure looked full of energy and a bit paranoid...
