The Easton Roller Mill was a steam-driven grist mill built about 1870 by Henry Koontz that could grind 120 bushels of grain daily. In 1894, its stone burrs were replaced with iron rollers, improving output and quality and representing the peak technological development of a local flour mill. Several owners operated the mill before changes in marketing and consumer habits, coupled with a reduced local grain supply, forced its closing in 1930.
