Bringing Hemlock Hills on Mill Pond to Life

It is not easy to restore and improve a historical site. When Hemlock Hills on Mill Pond acquired the Elowsky Grist Mill, there was much to be done to restore and preserve this important piece of Michigan’s history. Weather was coming in through the walls and roof, the foundation needed reinforcement, and the Mill was leaning. It had to be restored promptly, or it might not stand for another winter.

After securing the proper permits for an historical restoration, work began. Foundation work, and structural framing came first. Then, carefully stained new cedar siding for an aged patina closed in the Mill, and a new metal roof was installed. Work continued on the surrounding buildings to restore and adapt them for Event and Wedding use. The centerpiece of these buildings was the Wedding Barn, totally renovated from the new foundation to the new roof. Electrical service and lighting were installed for a comfortable, rustic ambience. With the addition renovations of other buildings to include larger restrooms, a catering kitchen, a bunkhouse and other facilities, the Hemlock Hills event center was taking shape. While Hemlock Hills on Mill Pond continues to grow, please enjoy these construction pictures from our earliest renovation projects.
