Weisenberger Mills, est.1865


Weisenberger Mill is a good example of a historic mill. It was purchased by August Weisenberger in 1865, after he emigrated from Germany. The mill is still in operation today, run by the sixth generation of the Weisenberger family.  it was added to the list of National Register of Historic Places in 1984.  National_Register_of_Historic_Places

 


The mill is nestled on banks of the South Elkhorn Creek, in the heart of central Kentucky near Midway, bordering Scott and Woodford Counties.




Specializing in wheat flour and white cornmeal,  ground by stone, the family has branched out into cornbread and spoonbread mixes, as well as fish batter.   Above is a stone once used to grind grains into powder.
