Terrace Mill Foundation Inc

The beloved Terrace Mill, located south of Glenwood, MN on State Highway 104,  is in need of a new paint job and window repair.  The Terrace Mill and its property is privately owned by the Terrace Mill Foundation.  We are a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.  We are a volunteer group of members, with a volunteer board of directors, that see to the upkeep of the Mill and grounds. We are not publicly funded, but rely on donations and project revenue, and many volunteer hours to maintain and operate the Terrace Mill and its events. You can find more information at TerraceMill.org.  Thank you for your donation!

The Terrace Mill was one of nearly 1,000 flour mills in Minnesota and one of 9 mills in Pope County.  Today there are just a few dozen mills left in Minnesota, and The Terrace Mill is the only one in Pope County.
