Pine Creek Mill is again hosting river boat cruisers who are interested in the Muscatine area. On June 29th, 37 cruisers from all over the world learned by about the mill. I had a good time visiting with a woman from London England. Also visited with travelers from Kentucky, Florida and Texas.

Pine Creek Grist Mill will be open for the 2026 Summer Travel Season soon. Our hours vary by month, so be aware. During May, September, and into mid-October, we are open weekends ONLY! June, July, and August we are open extended hours, including Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The mill is open from 10 to 5, Wednesdays - Saturdays, and 12 - 5 on Sundays. We are closed during periods of inclement weather, for the safety of our staff. Friends of the Mill is a nonprofit organization, which fundraises to keep the mill open in order to provide visiting hours. We do not receive funds from the Iowa DNR to operate. This year, Friends of the Mill is celebrating 30 years of service to the community, with our continuing efforts to maintain and interpret the historic grist mill. We look forward to hosting your group this summer!

CBI Bank and Trust gave the mill a nice gift before Christmas. The mill group received a $100 donation as part of the bank's Hometown Hundreds program. Thank you CBI.
