A BRIEF History

 The Francis Grist Mill was built in 1887 to grind corn and wheat. A beautiful piece of  history, the mill still stands after years of wear, tear, and age. The Francis Grist Mill has been restored and is being preserved and maintained by the Francis Mill Preservation Society.

History
