Pioneer Flour Mill

In 1872 Archibald Gardner built the first flour mill in Pleasant Grove, and in 1876 he sold it to David Adamson, who installed these grinding stones. They were run by waterwheel and also a steam engine when water was low. John Christian Nelson, the miller, ground grain into fine flour or course cattle feed, which was then sold and hauled by ox teams to neighboring counties. In 1902 Albert Cooper bought and improved the mill.
