This Amphitheater is located on the grounds of the historic Benson Grist Mill.
From 1854 to the 1940's, the Benson Mill processed wheat and corn by the ton.
After the last bag of flour was ground in the 1940's, the gristmill lay silent for over 40 years, gradually falling into disrepair. In 1983 an ambitious committee of volunteers acquired the mill site property and began restoring the structure one piece at a time. The restored mill, which is widely recognized as one of the more intact pioneer era industrial buildings in Utah, captivates the interest of visitors from around the world.
Amphitheater is currently used for plays & educational events.
