Loranger Gristmill on Stoney Creek near Monroe, Michigan, April 1927
01
Artifact Overview
Loranger Gristmill was built in 1832 on Stoney Creek in Monroe, Michigan. It incorporated a sophisticated conveyor system, developed by Oliver Evans in the late 1700s, that moved grain through the building to be ground into flour or animal feed. In the late 1920s, after the mill had ceased operation, Henry Ford purchased it. Ford sent his staff to document the structure before its relocation to Greenfield Village.
