Greenfield, MO info on Hulston Mill. (Hulston Mill Historical Park)
Hulston Grist Mill was established at the confluence of the Sac River and Turnback Creek in Dade County, Missouri, in 1840. Engleman operated the local grist mill for another ten years following the Civil War and then sold it to James Christopher Hulston in 1875. The mill was modernized by John Christopher Hulston, son of "Chris" Hulston, in 1892, and was converted to a full roller mill with an auxiliary steam engine to provide power in times of drought. The Hulston family owned and operated the mill until 1897 when John Christopher Hulston was murdered. The Hulston family sold themill in 1906. From that time on there were numerous owners of the mill. Hulston Mill ground its last flour on June 25, 1967. The mill was protected through large efforts of local citizens. It was then moved to a fifty acre tract one mile to the southeast of the original site where it is proposed to serve as the focal point for a heritage park featuring the reconstructed Hulston Mill, Missouri, circa 1850.
