A national historic landmark, the Cedar Creek Grist Mill rests on a steep, rocky slope at the bottom of a narrow gorge. Built in 1876, it is the only water powered grain grinding mill in Washington that has maintained its original structural integrity and grinds with stones. The scenery around Cedar Creek
Grist Mill is enchanting – heavily wooded with a beautiful stream. The south
side of the creek has four picnic tables that offer a wonderful view of the
stream, the mill and covered bridge. Visitors are treated to a tour of how the mill still works today. Huge pulleys and belts spinning above and below are turning and churning to produce flour, corn meal and apple cider. Take home samples of the products created by Mother Nature.
