—A History of the Mill —

On the National Register of Historic Places, the world famous Butte Creek
Mill is the only grist mill in Oregon still grinding flour.

Built on the banks of Little Butte Creek in 1872, under the name Snowy
Butte Mill, local farmers would bring their wheat to the mill, their
wagons lining the road for miles.

The road in front of the mill is the old military road to Fort Klamath.
Klamath Indians trekked 90 miles from Fort Klamath to trade
berries and leather goods for flour.

The mill still uses the original French buhr stones that were quarried in
France near Paris, assembled into four-foot diameter stones in Moline, Illinois,
shipped around the Horn to Crescent City, California, carried over the mountains
by wagon and put into service here more than 130 years ago.
