In the early 1900’s the Lehi Roller Mill and Elevator Company served local farmers around Lehi, Utah. In 1905, its shareholders invested $20,000 in what would become the Lehi Roller Mills. The new mill, which boasted the most modern equipment of the time, turned out its first flour in April 1906. By 1925, Lehi Roller Mills was delivering flour by the carload to bakeries and dealers in Salt Lake City and California. In 1984 the Mills and surrounding area in Lehi City were used for the popular movie Footloose starring Kevin Bacon. Picture taken November 2018.
