Scale and office of the Smoky Valley Roller Mill at Old Mill Park in Lindsborg Kansas. The scale on the right was used to weigh grain and the mill office was to the left of the scale.
Built in 1898 and was in operation until the 1950's. It was restored to full working order in 1981. Instead of using stones to grind grain this mill used a series of corrugated steel rollers. This type of mill became known as the "grand daddy of the modern mill" and was important with the introduction of hard winter wheat in the 1870's. It took 4-6 people to operate the mill.
National Register #72001451. Added in 1972.

The construction of this year's pavilion mirrored last year's to some extent, although the wood rather than concrete gave it a very different feel.
