About Esterhazy Flour Mill

Canada counts Esterhazy Flour Mill as Esterhazy’s National Historic Site. The register gives 1904–1908 for Esterhazy Flour Mill. James Saunders designed it.

Esterhazy Flour Mill National Historic Site of Canada is an early 20th-century flour mill located near the western end of the village of Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. Situated on an open uneven lot, the site consists of a flour mill and attached grain elevator; three storage sheds, one with an attached office; a small engine room; and a metal-clad oil storage shed. The mill is a rare and complete illustration of flour milling technology that was crucial to the grain industry in Saskatchewan and contributed to the development of communities such as Esterhazy. Official recognition refers to the buildings on their lot.
