The site of Brant Flour Mills was first active in the early 1800's. The original mill building was located alongside McKenzie Creek. A dam was established which created a large mill pond. The dammed water allowed a horizontal water wheel to be turned which then drove the milling process.
E.L. Smith bought the flour mill in 1897 and operated the original mill until 1976 at which time a modern all electric mill started production.
Today the Storjohann Family own and operate the flour mill.
