Graue Mill & Museum

Illinois Adventure #1403 Graue Mill and Museum

Graue Mill and Museum, an operating waterwheel grist mill and homestead, is dedicated to maintaining a bridge between past and present generations in the belief that understanding our history is vital to our future. The Museum provides programs -- for school children and others -- that include milling, spinning and weaving and living history presentations, as well as artifacts which illustrate the way of life of area residents between 1850 and 1890 and the impact mills such as Graue Mill had on our culture.

One summer morning in 1852, Fred Graue entered his mill and turned the wheel that opened the sluice gates outside. Water from Salt Creek rushed into the millrace and the wooden waterwheel began to turn for the first time. It would turn the machinery that would grind grain for the next seventy years.

Today, Graue Mill is the only operating waterwheel gristmill in northern Illinois.

Graue Mill and Museum in Oak Brook is one of the remaining stations along the Underground Railroad. Frederick Graue, a miller by occupation, housed slaves in the basement of his gristmill. Graue Mill's location on Salt Creek, a tributary of the Des Plaines River, made it an ideal location for harboring slaves. Today, the exhibit Graue Mill and the Road to Freedom uses photographs, documents, a computer interactive system and additional displays to illustrate the issue of slavery, the Underground Railroad and the importance of Graue Mill and DuPage County in assisting fugitive slaves to escape to freedom.

Graue Mill in DuPage County

Allow your imagination to turn back in time when you visit this one-of-a-kind attraction in DuPage County. Graue Mill is the only operating waterwheel gristmill in the state of Illinois and will transport you to a time in the early 1800s.

The Dam At Graue Mill

Salt creek has been dammed at Graue Mill for almost two hundred years. This video looks at the creek and how it forms a waterfall at the mill building. A nice serene look at the river and some of the surrounding nature.

Oakbrook Rain Shower & Rainbow

Time Lapse Music video of a rain shower and a beautiful rainbow using my brinno TLC 200 Pro time lapse camera including my Brinno 24-70 mm F1.4 zoom in lens for the rainbow scene filmed from the Oakbrook 22 Executive Plaza, Oakbrook, Illinois on May 8, 2018. For now on, I will be using the zoom in lens for rainbow scenes. Very happy with that shot compared with my other rainbow shots I made with the standard panoramic lens which makes the rainbows smaller.

Soggy Graue Mill 9/14/08

A very flooded Salt Creek roars over the mill dam at Graue Mill in the Fullersburg Forest Preserve. Just south of the mill York Road was closed at Spring. The creek had left its banks and expanded over the parking lot and onto York. There was a crew working at the mill and it appeared that the cellar was taking water.

Conversion of former grist mill, Cornwall

David and Carol took on the conversion of a completed dilapidated grist mill in a pretty village in South Cornwall and have turned it into a character-packed home. The couple managed to retain the charm of the existing building there is just one new window opening and the original granite walls have simply been cleaned up and re-mortared. The transformation inside, however, is complete with the creation of a farmhouse kitchen, great living spaces and luxury bedrooms that all make the most of the great views from the site. The project cost £350,000 (£1,933/m2) and took a year to complete.

Senators, Governors, Businessmen, Socialist Philosopher (1950s Interviews)

Interviewees:
Joseph McCarthy, American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957
Corliss Lamont, a socialist philosopher, and advocate of various left-wing and civil liberties causes. As a part of his political activities he was the Chairman of National Council of American-Soviet Friendship starting from early 1940s. He was the great-uncle of 2006 Democratic Party nominee for the United States Senate from Connecticut, Ned Lamont.
Fuller Warren, 30th Governor of Florida
T. Lamar Caudle, Assistant Attorney General
Owen Brewster, American politician from Maine. Brewster, a Republican, was solidly conservative. Brewster was a close confidant of Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin and an antagonist of Howard Hughes.
Robert S. Kerr, American businessman from Oklahoma. Kerr formed a petroleum company before turning to politics. He served as the 12th Governor of Oklahoma and was elected three times to the United States Senate. Kerr worked natural resources, and his legacy includes water projects that link the Arkansas River via the Gulf of Mexico.

Lamont was born in Englewood, New Jersey. His father, Thomas W. Lamont, was a Partner and later Chairman at J.P. Morgan & Co.. Lamont graduated as valedictorian of Phillips Exeter Academy in 1920, and magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1924. In 1924 he did graduate work at New College University of Oxford while he resided with Julian Huxley. The next year Lamont matriculated at Columbia University, where he studied under John Dewey. In 1928 he became a philosophy instructor at Columbia and married Margaret Hayes Irish. He received his Ph.D. in philosophy in 1932 from Columbia University.[2] Lamont taught at Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, and the New School for Social Research . In 1962 he married Helen Elizabeth Boyden.[3]

Lamont served as a director of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1932--1954, and chairman until his death, of the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, which successfully challenged Senator Joseph McCarthy's senate subcommittee and other government agencies. In the process Lamont was cited for contempt of Congress, but in 1956 an appeals court overturned his indictment. From 1951 until 1958, he was denied a passport by the State Department.

In 1965 he secured a Supreme Court ruling against censorship of incoming mail by the U.S. Postmaster General. In 1973 he discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests that the FBI had been tapping his phone, and scrutinizing his tax returns and cancelled checks for 30 years. His subsequent successful lawsuit set a precedent in upholding citizens' privacy rights. He also filed and won a suit against the Central Intelligence Agency for opening his mail.

Following the deaths of his parents, Lamont became a philanthropist. He funded the collection and preservation of manuscripts of American philosophers, particularly George Santayana. He became a substantial donor to both Harvard and Columbia, endowing the latter's Corliss Lamont Professor of Civil Liberties, currently held by Vincent A. Blasi. During the 1960s he and Margaret had divorced, and he married author Helen Boyden, who died of cancer in 1975. Lamont married Beth Keehner in 1986.

Lamont was president emeritus of the American Humanist Association, and in 1977 was named Humanist of the Year. In 1981, he received the Gandhi Peace Award. In 1998 Lamont received a posthumous Distinguished Humanist Service Award from the International Humanist and Ethical Union.

Still an activist at the age of 88, he protested U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf War in 1991. He died at home in Ossining, New York.
