MMillfest 2 2009

Saturday May, 2 and Sunday, May 3

Each spring, the museum hosts Millfest a family event celebrating the history of the mill and the pioneer heritage of the region. Millfest is held the first weekend in May and features guided tours of the mill in operation. 

Professional millers run the mill (without grain) and tours are available for visitors age 13 and older. Other activities include a traditional arts and crafts fair, musical entertainment and great food.
