Kolter's Mill

Kolter's Mill, located at the southwest corner of Second and Broadway Streets, was considered one of the oldest landmarks in Spencerville. Constructed in 1843 and standing until the early 1940's, it allowed area residents to have their grain ground into meal and flour without traveling to Piqua. The mill was powered by the Miami and Erie Canal through two 60-year-old water wheels with wooden spokes, one 44 inches in diameter and the other 36 inches in diameter. Huge hewed timbers supported its heavy machinery and showed the workmanship of Spencerville's pioneers.
