_Thank you for supporting Beck's Mill! The Beck family built their first mill on this historic site in 1808. Their third mill still remains. The mill once ground corn, small grains such as wheat and processed wool; all powered by water! After setting idle for more than 50 years, the little grist mill south of Salem, Indiana is now churning out a product that once made it famous. In 2008 Beck's Mill was returned in restored and operational condition to the directors of the Friends of Becks Mill, Inc. Becks Mill is operated solely by the efforts of an all volunteer staff and the leadership of Friends of Becks Mill, Inc. continues to enhance the visitor experience to Beck's Mill every year as numerous new events are planned every season. The Grind 5K is the mill's largest annual fundraiser. _
