Snow Day In DC Means A Rock Creek Park Revolution!
Shane Yeager
"Best chance encounter with reenactors... ever."
Traveling back in time today, welcome to 18th Century Rock Creek Park. 😁
We were so lucky to run into these reenactors while out for a walk during this two day snowstorm in DC.
They were doing a photo-shoot next to Peirce Mill and Shane had an Fs7 in his backpack with an older 50mm cine lens; there was no choice but to make a 60 second short.

Quick facts about the mill from the National Park Service:
Isaac Peirce built Peirce Mill on Rock Creek in 1829.
Using the moving water as a power source, the mill ground corn, wheat, and rye. Succeeding generations further developed the mill, sawmill, orchard, and tree nursery. Before the Civil War, slaves provided much of the labor on the 960 acre property.
In 1890, an act of Congress incorporated the mill and 350 acres of the property into Rock Creek Park. The mill operated until the turbine's shaft broke in 1897.
At the turn of the century, park managers went to work improving the site. First, managers improved the roads and bridges. Then they added a new dam that provided a nice aesthetic for picnickers.
In the 1920's, the mill was converted into a tea room complete with electric lights.
In 1933, New Deal legislation transferred Rock Creek Park to the National Park Service. The National Park Service restored the mill and grounds to their historic layout by 1936.
