Benson Grist Mill, Gristmill in Stansbury Park, United States

Benson Grist Mill is a restoration-replica museum in Tooele County, Utah, with a recreated pioneer-era mill building and four other nineteenth-century buildings moved onto the 6.98-acre site along State Highway 138. The mill shows the inner workings of a late-nineteenth-century gristmill, while the grounds also hold a blacksmith shop, a cabin, a barn, and an open-air pavilion.

Brigham Young authorized Ezra T. Benson in 1850 to develop a mill site in the north end of Tooele Valley; a sawmill ran by 1851 and the Lee brothers built the gristmill in 1854 at Twin Springs, then called Richville. Brigham Young bought the mill in 1860, and by 1862 it was named Young and Rowberry's. J. Reuben Clark purchased it in 1922; grinding continued until 1938, and the last operator, Oscar C. Jones, left in 1939. Listed on the National Register in 1972, it was restored from 1983 by a committee formed by Jack Smith.

The mill maintains its heritage through yearly events such as farmers markets, pioneer activities, arts festivals, and seasonal celebrations that bring the local community together.

The site lies along State Highway 138, 0.8 mile southwest of Mills Junction where it meets State Highway 36. Visitors tour the mill interior and the relocated blacksmith shop, cabin and barn; the open-air pavilion, built by volunteers in 2000, hosts community events. The grounds cover 6.98 acres, and the county division that owns the museum accepts tours of the site.

The restoration was largely carried out by local volunteers who systematically rebuilt the decaying structure over several years. This makes it a notable example of how communities can preserve their own history through grassroots effort.
