Facts About the Historic Mill

  • The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has recognized the building as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places;
  • Landmarks Illinois listed it in 2019 as one of the Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois;
  • The St. Clair County Historical Society recognized it as a Historic Site in 1985;
  • The 1880 grain bins are made of stacked 2 by 6 wood planks and are 65 feet tall;
  • Much of the original turn-of-the-century milling equipment is still operable in the building, a few pieces handcrafted and most of it well over 100 years old.

Distributor

 All the way on the 5th floor of our Mill you will find our Distributor. The process of the elevator starts with the grain trucks dumping the grain into the pit. From there it goes up the leg and then gets dumped into our distributor(pictured below). From there it is sent in a bin spout that then sends it directly into the selected bin. 

Catwalks & Grain Bins

 From the 4th floor catwalks(picture 1) you can look down into the massive stacked wood grain storage bins(picture 2).
