Phelps Mill, Historic watermill in Otter Tail County, United States.
The three-story wooden structure stands next to the Otter Tail River, featuring original milling equipment and a concrete dam constructed in 1908.
William Thomas built the Maine Roller Mills in 1889, designing it to produce 75 barrels of flour daily until its closure in 1939.
The mill represents Minnesota's agricultural heritage, when nearly 1,000 mills operated throughout the state during the late 1800s flour production era.
Visitors can explore the preserved mill structure from May to October between 6 AM and 10 PM, with access to picnic areas and fishing spots.
The Friends of Phelps Mill organization maintains educational programs and hosts an annual ice cream social with band concerts each August.
