KITCHELL GRIST MILL
In this area Joseph Kitchell, who settled here in 1817, erected a grist mill and distillery which eliminated the trip to Shakertown, Indiana where the farmers had previously taken their grain. Horses were used for power, grain was taken in pay, converted to whiskey and sold to settlers.
Erected by the Citizens of Palestine and the Illinois State Historical Society, 1962.
IL 33, S. limits of Palestine, Crawford County Illinois
