Messer/Mayer Mill - Richfield, Wisconsin
The
Messer Sawmill was built in 1856 by Johann Messer. In 1871, Andrew
Messer, Johann's son, started construction of a grist (grain) mill attaching it to the Sawmill. It was completed in 1873. The
Mills were purchased by the Mayer family, thus the name, Messer/Mayer.
The Sawmill operated until 1930 and the grist Mill until 1954. The Mill
with closed with all of its original equipment intact -- just as it is
today. The Town of Richfield purchased the Mill property in 1997. The Richfield Historical Society is responsible for 
restoring and maintaining all of the historic buildings located on this
property which is now the Richfield Historical Park. To learn more
