LINDSBORG, Kan. — 2023 is a milestone year for the Lindsborg Old Mill & Swedish Heritage Museum.

Each spring, the museum hosts Millfest – a family event celebrating the history of the mill and the pioneer heritage of the region. Millfest is held the first weekend in May and features guided tours of the mill in operation. This year, the event is Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 120 East Mill Street in Lindsborg.

In 2023, Millfest will celebrate 125 years since Smoky Valley Roller Mills was built.

Professional millers run the mill (without grain) and tours are available for visitors age 13 and older. Other activities include a traditional arts fair, including a quilt show, live musical entertainment, and great food.
