The Kennedy Mill near Balsam Lake in Polk County risks total ruin after decades of attempts to save it. Mrs. D D Kennedy, widow of a pioneer lumberman and former state assemblyman, donated over 100 acres to the county in 1973 for preservation. Despite years of effort and offers to restore, County action stalled, fueling her waning hope for revival.
Residents and officials weigh restoring the Balsam Branch Mill near Frederic Wisconsin as a tourist draw. They cite the Kennedy dam and waterwheels, the mill’s historic value, and the need to open it to the public while noting private sale options and decades of neglect.
