Moulds for iron castings ~

The sand for making moulds was ground from a particular rock.

The ruins of the sand mill, circa early 1800s, are located near Dry Lake in Haldimand County minutes from Cayuga.  Extensive in their lay out, the ruins are barely visible when the leaves are on the trees.  Today the property is owned by an aggregate company.
