Built in 1890 by James Siddoway, Robert Siddoway and James Briggs, the Siddoway Briggs Co.: Financed by James Briggs.

Since money was scarce, the gristmill exchanged wheat for Flour & script, (a form of money).

About 1906 the mill site became a home for a culinary water supply for the town of Teton, also an electrical facility called Teton Light & Power.

On Sept. 2, 1892, using a steam powered generator operated by Will Naylor, the first 100 lbs. of Old Faithful Flour was produced.

On August 19, 1911, George and Eva Briggs, one of James Briggs' sons, purchased the Mill and enlarged its milling capacity, replacing the generator with a water wheel & adding a Sawmill (from the Green Canyon area) to the back of the mill. The sawmill sawed the logs for many of the mill's expansions including: the grainery just to the north of the Mill, other log buildings around the Mill, and many homes in the area.

Flour was marketed from Roberts, Idaho to Salt Lake City, Utah; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; & Montana. At this time the mill produced Whole Wheat Flour & Germade, a cereal byproduct made during the flour making process.

In 1926 a new brand name "Rose of Idaho" replaced the "Old Faithful" brand name.

In 1932 a larger water turbine was installed.

On March 6, 1947, George and Arminda Briggs, son and daughter in-law of George Briggs, purchased the mill and added Pancake flour sold in 50 lbs. bags.

In 1963 & 64 the flour milling was discontinued and the mill was expanded & changed into a farm service center, cleaning grain & selling all kinds of farm products.

On June 5th, 1976, the eastside of the mill was damaged by the Teton dam flood.

The mill was then sold in 1984 to Bingham Engineers as a hydro electric power plant site which ceased operation in 1994 from faulty design.

In 1997 the mill was once again returned to George & Arminda Briggs . On Nov. 7, 1997 the mill was sold to the Haunted Mill Inc. The Haunted Mill is operated each year by Dennis & Kim Briggs, son and daughter in-law to George & Arminda Briggs.

As you go through the mill, we encourage you will take time to notice the original flour equipment and other antique machinery. We hope you will respect this historical sight, or the Old Miller will get you.

Boo!!!

And have fun.
