Cedar Grist Mill ~ Vintage
The picturesque Cedar Creek Grist Mill is the only grain-grinding mill in Washington that has maintained its original structural integrity, grinds with stones, and is water-powered. Built in 1876, the mill has been fully restored as a working museum and is registered as a National Historic Site.

The George W. Woodham family and A.C. Reid built the Mill from timber cut in Reid’s sawmill, one half mile downstream from the Grist Mill. In 1886, the water wheel was replaced with a turbine to power the milling machinery. The mill provided an important service for farmers and merchants. They were willing to spend a full day traveling to and from the mill to have their grain milled. The mill continues to operate today. Visitors can watch the milling operation and purchase flour.
