Neligh Mill, Historic flour mill in Antelope County, United States.

Neligh Mill is a multi-story structure of wood and brick standing beside the Elkhorn River, housing original grain-processing equipment from the 1880s. Inside, visitors can see four floors of functional machinery including grain cleaners, roller mills, and sifting systems arranged in sequence.

John D. Neligh, founder of Neligh, began building the brick mill on the Elkhorn River in 1873; businessman W. C. Gallaway completed it, including damming the river. The mill started grinding wheat, corn, and buckwheat on August 29, 1874. In 1886 it switched from stone burrs to steel rollers, and improved turbines generated electricity for the town until 1925. It closed in 1969.

The mill represents how a single industrial facility could anchor the growth of an entire settlement in the frontier era. Visitors see tangible evidence of how grain processing was essential to community survival and trade.

The building is best explored during daylight hours to see the machinery details clearly across all four floors. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable, as climbing stairs between levels is an important part of understanding how the mill operated.

The mill's horizontal water turbine drove gearing in the basement, and later turbine improvements let the mill generate electricity for Neligh until 1925. Remnants of the dam that once collected water for the mill are still visible on the Elkhorn River nearby.
