The image is the Ezra Taft Benson Grist Mill. This restored mill is widely recognized as one of the more intact pioneer era industrial buildings in Utah. In 1854 LDS apostle Ezra Taft Benson arrived in Tooele Valley with orders from Church President Brigham Young to construct a gristmill that would serve new pioneer settlements in the area. Located beside a spring-fed pond, the Benson Gristmill was made of rock and wood by skilled pioneer artisans.

From 1854 to the 1940's, the Benson Mill processed wheat and corn by the ton. The milling equipment can be seen inside the mill.

I have also come to enjoy many other facets of photography, such as wildlife, American Western, farm, church, and ghost town photography. I take great pleasure in traveling and...
