A remarkable Henry County historic preservation project is near completion at Stephenson Park in Lowell on the banks of the Skunk River. A nearly two hundred year old millstone has been preserved and carefully moved to higher ground and reset in a cut stone monument base. The Southeast Iowa Union reports that this historic preservation project has been two years in the making. It is a restoration project of the Mt. Pleasant, James Harlan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Henry County Conservation Officer Caleb Waters, the Conservation Department, and others are helping with the project.
