Florence Mill & Winter Quarters Mill Museum

wonderful piece of history. The seasonal farmers market is the best in Omaha!

We didn't visit the museum, but went to the weekend Farmers market. Very small market, but pretty cool vendors. Highly suggest going to the sourdough tent, great bread by a pretty cool Veteran!

Tried to be a vendor and the lady insulted me and wouldn't listen when I told her I made all my own stuff then she blew me off and hung up on me. I am a VERY popular internationally recognized artist and I could have elevated their attendance drastically but she stuck her nose in the air and insulted me. Their selection is trash . Mostly machine made crap.

If u want fresh veggies at a great price, homemade goodies,or something small,quaint to get a bite. Please check out this adorable market on Sunday's.

So glad this piece of history was saved by someone willing to put in some work! Very interesting history, well cleaned and preserved by the current owner. We stopped by and got to look around and hear some history while on a tour hosted by the Durham Museum. Lots of neat artifacts and a photography gallery upstairs. Florence farmers market is hosted here during the summer from 10am-3pm. Nice little gem right off the interstate.

Neat place to learn about the Morman Winter Quarters Ave the use of water and then eventually stream power to operate the mill and how they would make flour and lumber until the Weber family guy out if the wood business.

Today, June 6th, was the first day of their Sunday Farmers Market. Produce, food, art, and music. Plus today they had pony rides. Total hit with the kids! Relax, friendly, low key. The market will continue through Labor Day.

The best kept secret in Omaha---a real slice of pioneer history! Even if it's not open when you visit, you can look inside the east side windows and see some of the original wooden beams of the grist mill. Read the markers on site as well as the ones in the grassy area to the east. They tell of the thousands of people who came thru Florence on their way west for a better life....
