Archibald Mill
On the west side of the island in Cannon River opposite this point, John S. and George Archibald built a stone flour mill in 1857. By using improved middlings purifiers and slow careful grinding, a superior grade of hard wheat patent flour was produced. The improved processes were later introduced in the Minneapolis mills.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
