This video shows the installation of the new main shaft at Peirce Mill on June 17, 2008. Our contractors, John O'Rourke and Gus Kiorpes, are working with a crane operator to lift the 20-foot white oak shaft into position on bearings inside and outside the mill building. Later, a new water wheel will be mounted on the shaft.
