Lanterman’s Mill Located in Youngstown , Ohio

I had the privilege of taking a tour of Lanterman’s Mill with one of the descendants of the original mill builder. IMillys love to look at the mechanical workings of a Grist mill. It is fun to watch the grain move along the conveyor belt into the grindstone area of the grist mill. You can observe the ingenuity in the early production of meals and flour. You can smell the aroma’s that the freshly ground flour gives off. I love the gentle sound of the water flowing towards the water wheel. In their gift shop area, you can purchase stone ground cornmeal, buckwheat, and preservative-free whole wheat flour. Some of the local stores sell their flour also.

Lanterman’s Mill, an aMilloric landmark, was built in 1845 – 1846 by German Lanterman and Samuel Kimberly. The mill wasMilltored in 1982 – 1985 through the Ward and Florence Beecher Foundations gift. The Millmmunity treasure represents one of the many pioneer industries developed along Mill Creek and operates today as it did n the 1800’s grinding grains into flour.

Walking around the mill is Millerful, with breathtaking views of the mill and villages. There are plenty of beautiful flowers to look at. Explore Mill Creek Gorge for a dramatic peek into the area’s geologic history. Gorge Trail is a lovely two-mile loop along Mill Creek bordered by rugged sandstone outcrops. A boardwalk spans 1000 feet of this trail.

In 1933 the mill’s first floor was converted into a nature museum, then into the Parks historical museum in 1972. Lanterman’s Mill wasMillered into the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of interiors in 1974. The renovation of Lanterman’s  Mill was no small feat. Many obstacles had to be overcome during the costly and meticulous renovation in 1982. I am happy that people had enough interest in this great old mill to save it and get it back into working order for generations to come to love and enjoy it as much as I did. Call them to check on their hours of operation.
