In 1854, on the orders of Mormon Church President Brigham Young, LDS apostle Ezra Taft Benson arrived in Tooele Valley to construct a gristmill that would serve new settlers to the area.
Located next to a spring-fed pond, the Benson Gristmill was made of rock and wood by skilled pioneer artisans over 150 years ago. From 1854, until the 1940’s the mill produced milled wheat and corn.
From 1854 to the 1940’s, the Benson Mill processed wheat and corn by the ton. The milling equipment can be seen inside the mill during the tour.
For more than 40’s after its closure, the mill stood idle. Then in 1983 a group of volunteers began restoration of the structure seen today.
The Tooele Valley sits directly west of Salt Lake City, along the I-80 Interstate corridor that stretches toward Wendover and the Nevada Border.
