The iconic Hyde's Mill near tiny Hyde,WI. was built in 1850 by William Hyde.It burned sometime during the 1870's but was rebuilt.It was purchased by the Sawle family in 1931 and is currently for sale for a cool 299K.The Wisconsin DNR has stepped in and made the purchase near impossible because of a bunch of restrictions,according to a family member.Whatever happens,the hope is that the beauty and tranquility of the site will be preserved...
It wasn't very tranquil the day we visited the old mill as the nearby Hyde Store was having one heck of a party.As I was shooting this,the strains of "Sweet Home Alabama" were in my ears.The store,along with the Hyde Chapel make up the majority of the town,just half a mile from the mill site.
Some info on Hyde here...
