"A gristmill (also: grist mill, corn mill or flour mill) grinds grain into flour. The term can refer to both the grinding mechanism and the building that holds it."

Throughout the nineteenth century milling was very important to Texans, who depended on mills to grind grains for bread and tortilla making. 

"The Shaw Cabin is one of the few working gristmills remaining in Texas. Although the cabin was not originally a mill, the milling equipment found inside dates back to the mid 1860s. The equipment came from a small mill owned by the Smith family of Moline, Texas. It was in continuous use for over seventy years,. Then in 1930, it completely stopped operating. Forty years later, the City of Fort Worth purchased and installed it in the Shaw home. Since then, the Shaw gristmill has delivered fresh, warm cornmeal, crushed by the same millstones and in the same fashion as the nineteenth century."
