Cedarburg Mill

The five-story Cedarburg Mill stands tall with limestone walls, displaying vernacular and Greek Revival architectural elements along Cedar Creek.

Frederick Hilgen and William Schroeder constructed this $22,000 stone mill in 1855 to replace their earlier wooden structure from 1844.

The mill represents early industrial development in Wisconsin, demonstrating 19th-century grain processing techniques through regular demonstrations for visitors.

Landmark Feed, Seed & Supply continues operations at the mill, offering the largest selection of wild bird seed across three counties.

During the events of 1862, local residents used the mill's robust structure as a shelter, gathering inside its 32-inch thick limestone walls.
