Before the school bell rings, make time for a little history. 🌾

Benson Grist Mill is one of those places that makes you slow down and look around. Weathered timber, the massive mill wheel, pioneer-era buildings, green lawns, and wide-open Tooele County skies create a setting that feels far removed from the everyday. It’s right here in our own backyard.

Built in 1854, the grist mill helped serve the growing settlements of Tooele Valley, grinding wheat and corn for generations. The site also has ties to the California Trail, with travelers using nearby Twin Springs and Twin Springs Creek as important water sources on their journey west. Today, the mill remains one of the oldest standing buildings in western Utah and an incredible piece of Tooele County history.

If you’ve never visited, put Benson Grist Mill on your end-of-summer list. Bring the family, explore the historic buildings, learn how the mill worked, and take a few photos while you’re here. The rustic wood, old fences, millstones, and beautiful grounds make an unforgettable backdrop.

There’s something special about standing in a place that has watched more than 170 years of Tooele County history unfold.

Come see it for yourself before summer slips away.
