Craigie Flour Mill
Near this spot James Craigie of Aberdeen, Scotland, who came to Ottertail County about 1868 built the first grist mill in the county, completed in 1870. The mill stones and wheel were imported from Scotland. Craigie and his wife were drowned in Ottertail Lake in 1872, and after long litigation the mill was torn down.
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.
