Mulino Flour Mill

Welcome to the enchanting Mulino Flour Mill in the picturesque town of Mulino, Oregon, USA. Established in 1851, this historic gem is not only the oldest continuously used industrial structure still standing in Oregon but also a stunning testament to Gothic Revival architecture. As we tour through its thirteen distinct buildings, youll be transported back in time to when this flour mill was an economic powerhouse, intrinsically linked with noble residential and church properties.

The Mulino Flour Mill has a rich history rooted in the local community. What started as a family enterprise blossomed into a thriving town over time. Its unique architecture is captivating, featuring grand arches, steep pitched roofs, and intricate stonework reminiscent of a medieval castle. As we walk through the complex, take a moment to imagine the millers tirelessly working at their craft, turning wheat into flour that would become bread for countless families in the area.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this historic site is its flour. Known for its natural yellow tone, its ideal for products with medium rising characteristics. This unique feature sets the Mulino Flour Mill apart from other mills, making it a sought-after source of flour for bakeries and home cooks alike.

Sadly, in November 2020, our friends at Mulino Maroggia, the only industrial flour mill in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland, experienced a devastating day in their history. But here in Oregon, the Mulino Flour Mill continues to stand tall and proud, serving as a reminder of our resilience and our connection to the past.

So join me on this journey through time, as we explore the Mulino Flour Mill - a true masterpiece of architecture and engineering that has withstood the test of time. Let your imagination take flight as you envision the millers at work, grinding wheat into flour for generations to come.
