Peotone Historical Society-Peotone Mill Built in 1872, the H.A. Rathje/Peotone Mill is 1 of 4 remaining Dutch style mills in Illinois. Go all the way to the top fl or sit outside on our benches.

We will have Re-enactors and demonstrations of what life in the late 1800’s was like. We’ll also have a multitude of crafters, food and raffles. Entry into the Peotone Mil is free. You can go all the way up to the 5th floor. Come join us Sunday from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.

The mill is open today. Stop in and see everything we have on display, you can even see what’s on the top floor.
