This state-registered historic grist mill was built in the 1870's by Michael Elowsky and Joseph Miller. The mill, together with a saw mill, shingle mill, and log dam on the Thunder Bay River, provided a community center for commerce for the early nearby communities. Take a tour and learn about the early milling process, see all of the original equipment, and walk nature trails along the river and mill pond. A gift shop offers refreshments and souvenirs as well as a variety of crafts and collectibles. Tours are available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. May 1 to October 31 and other times by appointment. Tours take approximately 45 minutes. Admission is $4.00 adults, children under 12 free.
