Description
A close up photo looking up at the historic Hodgson Water Mill in Dora, Missouri, united States during the autumn fall season. This famous mill is a historic landmark here in the Ozarks.
Alva Hodgson, a pioneering Missouri millwright, began the Hodgson Mill legacy in 1837 when the original mill was built. A second mill, built in 1861, burned down as Missouri endured the chaos of the Civil War. The building you see in this picture was constructed in 1882.
In the 1900s, long after founder Alva Hodgson had passed. Alva's name had become synonymous with the mill itself, and true to his nature, the mill kept working while most traditional stone gristmills across America were shuttered. In 1969, the still-producing mill company became officially known as Hodgson Mill, Inc.
The popularity of naturally milled grains grew, Hodgson Mill enhanced its line of milled flours to begin producing a variety of wholesome, whole-grain products. By the 1970s, interest in natural, non-processed foods was heating up across the country, and the old mill was straining to keep up with orders. Hodgson Mill expanded and modernized its milling facilities in 1976 to keep pace.
Hodgson Mill has come of age in the 21st century, but their roots still lie with the tradition and quality that master millwright Alva Hodgson established so many years ago. They're still stone-grinding grains, taking away nothing, adding nothing, and keeping a tradition of natural goodness. (Some source from www.hodgsonmill.com)
