Thorp Mill

Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail

Commerce, Economy & Work Industrialization and Deindustrialization Ways of Living

Roller machines used to grind flour and livestock feed inside the Thorp Mill.

Built in 1883 by James Mills, the Thorp Mill was fundamental to Thorp, Washington’s economy and people. For 63 years, the grist mill was powered by water from the Yakima River and produced flour and livestock feed. Today, visitors to the mill can also stop by the interpretive center and view photographs and historical artifacts from life in 19th century Thorp. Plans are in the works to further restore the mill, which provides a glimpse into early life in Washington.
