Mill Geesina

Mill Geesina

The mill was bought in 1911 by Abraham Schuurman, chairman of the General Dutch Millers' Union for many years. Until 1999 the mill was owned by the Schuurman family and until the eighties of the last century the mill was used commercially by trial and error. The current name owes the mill earth to miller's wife Geesina who, with thrift and diligence, had saved enough to pay for a restoration in 1941. After the restoration of 2011, one pair of the original four grinding pairs was commercially restored. Around 1900, a machine room was built against the mill in which a suction shaft motor was located. This was used to drive a grinding chair in the mill.
