Mill Research
FoCH is a member of the Society for the Preservation of Old Mills ( SPOOM ).
FoCHs travel to SPOOM meetings and conferences at each individuals' own expense. We car pool when possible, have a good time at the destination, meet and compare notes with mill supporters from all over the country.

The FoCHs enjoy camaraderie after a long day of research and study. Because that's just how we roll.
