Cedar Creek Grist Mill

Cedar Creek Grist Mill is a grain processing facility in Clark County that harnesses water power from Cedar Creek through a system spanning about 650 feet (200 meters) to process various grain types. The mechanical components work together to grind grain into flour or cornmeal.

The mill was founded in 1876 by the Woodham family and A.C. Reid and received a turbine upgrade ten years later that improved its grinding capacity. This enhancement allowed the facility to operate more efficiently and dependably.

The mill showcases traditional grain processing techniques through regular demonstrations where visitors can watch the entire milling process from start to finish. These hands-on displays help people understand how grain was turned into flour in earlier times.

The building is typically open on Saturdays and visitors can purchase fresh-milled flour and cornmeal products made on-site. It helps to check ahead for any special conditions or seasonal changes to the schedule.

The structure is one of only two remaining water-powered mills still operating in Washington State and represents a rare example of this technology. Its rarity makes it a notable place for anyone interested in early industrial techniques.
