This impressive grindstone was donated by Jacalyn and Peter Kamenstein when they owned a home in "Mill Hollow." It is the bottom section of a pair of stones used to grind grain into flour. Metal worker Nicky Coschignano fashioned the stones into a table that is now the center of our patio area; turning history into a functional remembrance of early life.
