This section in remembrance of Joel and Hilda Wheeler.

If you want to use high resolution copies of any of these pictures, contact me for info. Any use must be approved by me. All proceeds from them are to go to the Aldrich Fund, a non profit organization which is dedicated to restoring the Robinson Mill in Calais. Any checks would be made out to the Aldrich Fund in memory of Hilda and Joel Wheeler. The restoration of this mill, the oldest still standing water powered sawmill in Vermont was a great interest of my grandmother, Hilda Wheeler. Joel Wheeler descended from Joel Robinson who built the mill in 1803.
