Description
A beautiful morning at Phelps Mill Park. Per the Otter Tail County Historical Society, Phelps Mill opened for operation in December of 1889. It was designed to produce 60-75 barrels of flour per day. The mill was very successful through turn of the century. After 1900 business at the mill gradually declined. It closed its doors for good in 1939. In 1965, Otter Tail County purchased the mill and surrounding land as a recreational site. Phelps Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
