Goodville Roller Mill

Goodville Roller Mill

Along Frogtown Road just south of Goodville sits the Goodville Mill. Jacob Weaver had a sawmill on this site as early as 1770. In the early 20th century, the mill boasted a 24-foot, overshot water wheel and a 27-foot hydrostatic head. The roller mills processed 5,000 bushels of wheat per year, and, in addition, a grindstone processed corn for animal feed. The mill was rebuilt in 1898 after having been destroyed in a fire. Operations ended in 1931 after another fire. After the fire it was converted into a chicken house The building is currently being used for storage.
