'Turnback Tuesday' on Wednesday features 'Old Mill Stone of Derby'

Turnback Tuesday remembers the “Old Mill Stone of Derby.”
The stone was from the first grist mill in Derby located on Sentinel Hill. 
The Sarah Riggs Humphreys' Daughters of the American Revolution owned the mill stone and offered it to the Derby Public Library. 
The Daughters said they would cover the expenses for the stone to be moved and have it set up as a sun dial. 
The Sundial/Millstone was dedicated by the Daughters in 1929. The sundial still stands in front of the Library today.
