Built in 1854 by John Weinel, a native of Germany who came to Utah about 1853, this overshot water-powered mill was erected on Webb’s Creek one-quarter mile northeast of this site. Native stones were used for the walls and pines for its timbers. It was 40 feet long, 18 feet wide, and two stories high. Ox teams brought the flour grinding stones, weighing 2,200 pounds, from a canyon near Bingham, Utah. It honored the pioneers and Kaysville’s first commercial industries.
