The Mayflower Mill in its full 1920s glory. Today it is owned by the San Juan County Historical Society and visitors can learn just what was going on here with a tour. The tram terminal at the east end was featured in the 1957 movie “ Night Passage”. A gunfight at the location involved James Stewart and Audie Murphy. Another Society property, the Little Nation Mill in Howardsville, also had a prominent role in the movie.
Greetings to all of you from Mark and Freddie at the Mayflower Mill. We are two guys that love our heritage and running this last standing, one-of-a-kind, iconic historic treasure, every summer and fall. Charles Chase chose the most beautiful jawdropping location at 9,900 feet, and as we like to say, “where the paved road ends and the adventure begins”.
Mill visitors come from all...
