Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The historical Drinkwater and Schriver Flour Mill is a focal point in the small hamlet of Cedar Point in Chase County, Kansas. The mill has an interesting history – in 1867 it started life as a wooden sawmill on the banks of the Cottonwood River, where a log dam had been constructed to power the water wheel. In 1870 it was decided to use the mill to grind wheat for local bakeries, and construction of the current three-story stone structure commenced in 1875.

The mill was in use as a grist mill until 1941 and was later used to grind animal feed before it was abandoned around 1961. Currently, it is not safe to enter the building but plans are underway to restore it to its former glory.
