Benson Grist Mill in Stansbury Park, Utah
“… built in 1854 in Lake Point, which was then known as Twin Springs Creek. It was built to serve the early Mormon settlers in Tooele County. In 1855 the mill site community became known as Richville and served as the Tooele County seat until 1861. A tannery and sawmill were built nearby. After sitting idle for more than 40 years, restoration of the mill began in 1983 to preserve the mill site for present and future generations.” source
