Old Weston Flour Mill Becomes Storage Sheds
The Weston flour mill lineage traces from the 1860s through 1919 when the Dahle brothers moved the mill near the highway and began new flour production. Earlier, builders from Logan and Weston's own settlers used local rock, a Turtle threshing machine, and a 13% James Leffel turbine to operate the mill.
