Friends of Peirce Mill Water Power Day

For almost 200 years, Peirce Mill has been using the power of water to grind corn into cornmeal. At this family-friendly event, we’ll experiment with water toys, learn about Archimedean screws, and construct a paper-plate waterwheel. DC Water will provide plenty of fresh, cold drinking water and a misting tent. And the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin will bring creek critters–also know as macroinvertebrates–to identify.

Enjoy free summer fun for all ages in Rock Creek Park!

Rain Date: Sunday, July 19
