Pioneer Mills of Cache Valley
In 1860 two grist mills were built and
operated in this valley, one at Wellsville
by Daniel P. Hill and the other at Millville
by Esias Edwards and Leroy Kent. The first
burrstones obtained from Black Rock, Utah,
proved to be too soft for grinding, so some
were imported from France. The stones, embodied
in this monument, were salvaged from the
respective millponds by Nicholas W. Crookston
in 1929 and given to the daughters of Utah
Pioneers.
