What about the "daily bread" and the "sweat of the face" in which man should eat it (1st Book of Moses, 3:19)? Here you will learn where the bread comes from and how long the grain has to travel from the field to your plate. After visiting the museum, you will surely eat your sandwich with more devotion.

The Mill Museum is a mill museum in Overpelt, which is located near the Sevens Mill in the Wandelpark Heesakker, on the Breugelweg.
The museum is themed from grain to bread and covers the whole process from threshing to baking the bread. The emphasis is, of course, on the milling, showing reconstructions of a kweern (hand mill) and a dog treadmill, which were used to power a churn. There is also a diesel engine that was used in a flour mill.
The collection also contains a number of historical weighing devices and other measuring instruments, including a weather station.
