Historic Pickwick Mill

Hi
Great website you have :)

Niels

Visited on Saturday, July 16, 2011. Spent several hours and am already thinking about coming back. Found the mill very interesting, well kept, excellent volunteer staff/owners and -- most important to me -- found some great genealogy information on my family. Winnie and Bernard Armitage were my grandparents, Carole Armitage, my mother. Thank you Mr. Gunderson and Mrs. Opal Fitch, made me feel like I had a real connection with my family's past! MJ

Looking to visit sometime soon. We have family on the Oates/Malenke side from there and would be interested on any information anyone could provide.

We tried to get to the mill today from off of US hwy 61 up cty 7 but the road construction prevented us from getting to the mill. Then we went up cty 3 to cty 12 and down cty 7 from the other end with the same result.. road construction prevented us from reaching the mill. My wife and I took vacation from work today and we checked your website this morning before driving all the way there. It sure would have been nice if your site had told us that the mill was not accessable because of road construction. To prevent other travelers from driving and not being able to reach would be appreciated by all I am sure. Thank you.

What a great experience! We went for a day trip yesterday from the Cities, and it was a lot of fun. The guide knew a lot, and it was neat just to see all the old tools and how things work. Well worth the trip!

Dear Sir,

Don’t be surprised if you see our whole unit come for a visit to the mill as we share a time in history. Besides we’re running low on Army Bread and our bakers need more flour. Why we’ll even bring our hardtack crates and if it takes a day or two why we’ll set an encampment till they’re filled. Ya just can’t go on the march without a sack of tooth busters.

Looking forward to visiting this during the next year. I've been past it, but haven't stopped by.

This website needs some more photos of the mill!

What an interesting place. It was cool.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME. AN EXCELLANT DESTINATION FOR A DAY TRIP. JOHN

At least once a year we bring our grandchildren out for a Mill event. It's great to visit a full fledged, operating mill.
