The Florence Mill was first built while members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints occupied Winter Quarters in 1846 as they waited to continue their journey to the West. Brigham Young ordered it be built. Other people ran the mill after the Mormons abandoned the area.
Topics that interest me include, California Mormon history, Mormon Handcart history, WWII history, Civil War history
