From Colorado Heritage Travel: (visit link)

The Arvada Flour Mill was built in 1926 by Eugene Benjamin to mill wheat for area farmers and to provide the high-quality Arva-Pride Flour that became a staple for local residents. Operating as a flour mill until 1944, the mill sat vacant until its 1978 restoration. The internal working components are relatively intact from its days as an operating flour mill, which makes for a unique tour celebrating the area's local agricultural heritage.
