Mill Inn

THE MILL INN was established in the early 1890s as a single elevator, steam powered, wooden milling structure. Later it would be moved and enlarged at its present location due to the large demand for its products. The new mill had the latest milling technology,  made of fire resistant masonry and was the largest, most modern of its kind in Wyoming with daily capacity of 1,000 barrels of flour. At one time, the mill was the largest taxpayer in Wyoming. Due to changes in freight rates for grain and flour, the mill could no longer compete with other milling locations. Milling operations were closed and the buildings, equipment and lands comprising the former Sheridan Flouring Mills, Inc. were sold in 1974. The actual mill building was remodeled into a 45-unit motel and the tower was converted into office spaces. Today, the Mill Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operates as a hotel.
