The mill was constructed in 1923 during a period of agricultural expansion in Colorado. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, recognizing its role in the region's industrial past.
The site is maintained by the Arvada Historical Society as a place where people can learn about the craftsmanship involved in wheat processing. It reflects the industrial work that shaped the local community.
The mill stands at 5580 Olde Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada. It is vacant and not open for walk-in visits; the Arvada Historical Society, which owns the building, arranges tours of the Arvada Flour Mill Museum by appointment only, so contact the society before planning a stop.
