The Dells Mill and Museum
The Dells Mill was built in 1864 as a water-powered grist mill to grind wheat in Civil War era Wisconsin. Built along the dells of Bridge Creek, the mill served farmers and their families for fishing and acted as a central building for a growing community. Dells Mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, operated continuously until 1968. We highly recommend a visit to this historic treasure of the Chippewa Valley.
