A mill update for 1992, stated that the mill was still producing as the Humbolt Flour Mill. I didn't see any activity of operation in the late afternoon in August 2004. A mill of this size would be operating in shifts around the clock, especially the modern additions on the west end.

A driveway coming out of the mill. The entrance for this exit is situated to on west end of the old mill structure, just where the new, modern structure begins. Apparantly, trucks were driven into the mill to be loaded, then driven out this exit in an earlier day.
