The old (1824) Rock Mill in Fairfield County will receive an additional $150,000 in state capital improvements money to complete the restoration of the north wall (covered by the blue tarp in the photo). David Fey has been the driving force in the five year project to restore the old gristmill, which sits next to a Covered Bridge at this truly beautiful site on the upper falls of the Hocking River. The project had been halted due to lack of funds.
