Overshot Water Wheel
This type of water wheel drove many of theses classic grist mills. It is known as the overshot type of wheel because the water runs over the top of the wheel versus underneath.

Barbed Wire
Used in the early days of the west for fences, the cause of many range wars. You can visit the Western Trails Museum where you can see the greatest collection of barbed wire ever assembled.
