Tidal Mills capture the twice daily flow of coastal waters to move machinery often for grinding grain. They teach the power of planning with geography. Construct a working tidal mill that you can manipulate in your bathroom to explore its remarkable ingenuity. Construct its miller and family, its wagons and farmer. Bake pretzels with fresh ground flour.
