The Nielsen Grist Mill built in 1890 is only one of 20 mills remaining in Utah. This 120 year old mill still stands at the foot of Thousand Lake Mountain near Capitol Reef in Utah. It is a testament of its day of the hard working nature of the Mormon Pioneer. Danish convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Hans Peter Nielson was the driving force behind this mill. This particular mill is the only mill in Utah that has its original original water-powered workings.
The Thurber Relief Society Hall in Bicknell, Utah echoes of the strength of the women of Thurber who initiated its building. This building began construction in June 1897 and was completed in September of 1899.
