Hebron Mill

The Hebron Mill located at 149 East Main Street, Hebron, Ohio was the longest running business in the village until its closure in the 1990s. The mill, operating as a flour and lumber mill, began in the early 1880s. It was a welcome addition to Hebron after the village's previous mill burned to the ground in 1881. It was a familiar sight to Hebronites since its construction at the crossroads of the Ohio-Erie Canal and the National Road. The mill relied upon these crossroads to transport both its raw materials and finished products. The mill was well equipped with modern tools and machines for milling and had a complete roller process which was operated by an 35 horse-power engine. General custom work was done for toll or cash, and flour and feed were exchanged for grain. There was also a sawmill which prepared lumber of all kinds and dimensions. In 1999 the building was purchased and renovated.
