This small, inconspicuous mill was originally a saw mill, then converted into a chopping mill. The pulley on the shaft coming out of the mill suggests that perhaps some tractor was connected via a broad belt to the pulley to turn the gringing mechanisms in times of low water flow from Plum Creek.

A chopping mill is another term for a mill that chopped various comodities and mixed them to create an feed formulation.

Looking through the mill. The white design is part of a block building behind the mill. Perhaps the block building with designed walls is a corn crib, slightly unusual!

Several gates used to direct water from the small millpond (only part of which is visible in photo) into the mill. The right gate would be open and the left closed to keep water from entering the mill.

Conversely, the left would be opened, and adusted, and perhaps also the right, partly, to maintain an even flow of water through the mill. Excess would be let out through the right gate. The photo shows the miller's house across the road. Both the mill and the house appeared vacant at time of visit.

A better view of the block building with designs in the wall. Remember to respect private property when exploring and photographing buildings on properties other than your own.The mill and house had been removed by March 2020. The block or tile garage or warehouse survives with a newer metal roof to replace the old rusted steel.
