A visit to the open plains
Drinkwater-Schriver Flour Mill, November
Cedar Point, Kansas
This is the Drinkwater & Schriver Flour Mill, built in 1875. The first structure at this site was a dam and sawmill built in 1867 by O.H. Drinkwater, who also gave the town its name. Eight years later, in partnership with Peter Paul Shriver, the sawmill and dam were replaced with the stone structures of the flour mill which continued in operation until 1937.
