Cedar Creek Grist Mill

A few weekends back we took the boys to the Cedar Creek Grist Mill near Woodland. This is an old grist mill (circa 1876) powered by water alone. It was fun and so interesting to see the wheat milled....lots of belts and pulleys turning.







Baby Jud was very sad for this little field trip. :)


The surroundings of the mill are beautiful, including an old wooden covered bridge.
After the volunteer millers demonstrate the process and answer your questions, you can take a bag full of freshly milled flour. That evening we used it to make pancakes....delicious!
