Cedar Creek Grist Mill, WA
The old grist mill had suffered from both weather and vandals. A group of local residents decided to save the historical structure in 1980 and formed "The Friends of the Cedar Creek Grist Mill", a non-profit corporation.
Dedicated volunteers used broad axes and adzes to replace the posts and beams authentically.
The women held bazaars and raffles to help raise badly needed funds for the massive restoration process. They also kept the men at the "work parties" fed.
The flume was completed in 1989 and extends 650 feet up Cedar Creek. The group first met its' first major goal on November 11, 1989, when it ground wheat in celebration of Washington State's Centennial.
A covered bridge spanning Cedar Creek was completed in 1994 and continues to draw visitors from all over the United States.
