Tucked in Latrobe, the Saint Vincent Gristmill dates back to the 1850s. Construction included buhrstones, shipped to Western Pennsylvania from France.
In fact, millers produce a variety of products from the grain, including whole wheat flour, unbleached white flour, cornmeal, and rye. All grains used at the gristmill are sourced from local farmers.
