intersection you will find the Cedar Creek Grist Mill. If you haven’t
been there, it is a must see. The Grist Mill was built in 1876, and
off and on through various different owners, continued to mill flour
until 1912 at which time the Grist Mill was converted to a machine
shop for the logging industry. In 1980 the Grist Mill had changed
hands several times from the original owners to the State of
Washington, to the Fort Vancouver Historical Society and was
registered as a historical place. In1980 a group of local residents
decided to save and restore the old Grist Mill.
Today the Grist Mill is open Saturdays from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
and Sundays from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. The mill grinds Wheat,
Red Western Wheat and Cornmeal. Head down and pickup
some Red Western Wheat Flour and plan buttermilk pancakes
for breakfast, you won’t be sorry.
