Pickwick Mill

The six-story limestone structure features a timber frame design and incorporates a twenty-foot water wheel that processes grain into flour.

During the Civil War period, the mill maintained continuous operations, producing one hundred barrels of flour daily to support Union Army provisions.

The mill stands as a testament to Minnesota's agricultural revolution, demonstrating the transition from manual grain processing to mechanical flour production methods.

Located at 24813 County Road 7, the mill opens its doors to visitors from May through October with guided tours of the preserved machinery systems.

The structure maintains its original nineteenth-century milling equipment in working condition, allowing demonstrations of traditional flour production techniques.
