The Arvada Flour Mill was originally constructed in 1926 by Eugene Emory Benjamin to mill wheat grown by area farmers into high quality flour. In 1944, as the milling industry evolved into larger scale concrete silos along major highways, the need for the mill declined and the property was sold to the Tiller and Schaaf families.
Tips: Open for guided tours by appointment. There are also self guided tours when the Mill opens to the public at certain times during the year.
