Ballafayle Bench

Canterbury Shaker Village, New Hampshire

The grinding stone bench

Kings Landing, New Brunswick

A bench with a buckwheat cushion. The buckwheat was processed at the 1885 Gristmill. Reconstructed at Kings Landing, it produces buckwheat flour and is powered by a Laffel turbine. The residue is made into these comfy cushions. The bench is also constructed at Kings Landing using nineteenth century techniques.
