Burlington/Excelsior Mill
In Burlington, Kansas turn left on E. Kenenbec St. from Everett St. (US 75) and go about 600 meters to the mill on the corner.
The mill is almost square, 30'x35' 3 story building of quarried stone. No equipment remains in the mill
The surrounding property is all city-owned, but the mill itself is privately owned.
In it's heyday, it was known for it's railcar shipments of flour to Europe. *Update: Sometime in the past few months, Mr. Rohr has sold this mill to a family who is now renovating the old mill and making it into their home! It's great someone is going to care for this wonderful old building! Dallas Townsand 02/09/2005*
*UPDATE: J. D. Mast 08/25/04* Mr Mast sent me a more recent picture of the mill. Mr Rohr, apparant owner of the mill, somehow pursuaded the city to move the road past it forward about 100 feet, so now the mill sits back about 100 feet further from the road past the front of the mill. The mill area has all grown up in uncontrolled tree growth for the most part, is fenced off , and unaccessable to the general public. Thanks, J.D.
