Mormon Colonists Built
Arizona's First Woolen Mill


Hoping to utilize Hopi and Navajo wool and labor, the Mormons intended to build a new industry to supply the early settlers. The 192-spindle mill operated only a short time, its abandonment signaling failure of the missionary movement among the Hopi's.
