This mill, one of the last water-powered gristmills to operate in Michigan, was built in 1869. It was purchased by Tom Walker and John Browning for ten thousand dollars in 1878. From then on the Walker family was involved with the mill for three generations. Tom Walker, a grandson, took over the mill’s operation in 1926. Until he retired in 1969 and sold the mill, he ground grain for no more than seven cents a bag.
