Transport yourself back in time and uncover the captivating tale of the Butte Creek Mill—a cherished treasure located in Eagle Point, Oregon, near the Eagle Point Golf Club. This iconic landmark, built in 1872 during Ulysses S. Grant’s presidency, has endured the ages and continues to fascinate visitors with its storied past and enduring allure.
Perched beside the picturesque Little Butte Creek, the Butte Creek Mill was once a bustling community hub where local farmers brought their wheat for milling. The mill’s enduring mechanics, still operational today, stand as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of bygone eras. Visitors can marvel at the massive French burr grinding stones, transported over 140 years ago from France.
The mill’s legacy is not just about its impressive machinery but also the dedicated individuals who have safeguarded its heritage. The Butte Creek Mill Foundation has been pivotal in ongoing restoration efforts following a devastating fire in 2015.
Today, the Butte Creek Mill is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Rogue Valley. Step inside this historic building and immerse yourself in the ambiance of a bygone era—absorb the sights, sounds, and aromas. The mill’s country store offers a delightful array of freshly milled flours, baking mixes, and locally sourced goods, ideal for unique souvenirs and gourmet ingredients.
