Florence Mill
Florence Mill is a historic grain mill in North Omaha, Nebraska, now operating as a museum and art gallery listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The timber building hosts local history exhibits and rotating art displays inside its working spaces.
The mill traces back to a structure built by Mormon pioneers in their Winter Quarters settlement in the mid-1800s to process grain for the community. Over time the building changed hands several times and was eventually moved to its current location.
The name Florence came from the Winter Quarters settlement founded by Mormon pioneers in this area. Today the mill serves as a community gathering spot where summer farmers markets feature local produce, baked goods, and crafts from regional sellers.
The museum and gallery are both inside the same building, so a single visit covers both without needing to move between locations. In summer a farmers market runs on Sundays outside, which can be a reason to time your visit accordingly.
Some of the timber used in the current structure came from an earlier Mormon mill, making parts of the building a direct physical remnant of the first settlers. A visitor standing inside is surrounded by wood that has been there since the community first took root.
