Enterprise

 

Enterprise is a bustling town of around 700 just a few miles south of I-70 and a few miles east of Abilene. It has a library, shops, a gunsmith, and a bar downtown. The bar made me smile, because Carrie Nation and her temperance ladies wrecked a saloon here back in 1901.

The railroad has been influential in the development of Enterprise, and it still runs through here on the north side of town.

Also on the north side of town is the Hoffman Grist Mill, which we toured. It's a cool little place, built in 2016 as a reproduction of an 1800s grist mill. It's even built near the site of an early mill that was built by Christian Hoffman in 1868. It was funded by Hoffman's last surviving descendant. We enjoyed the tour and came away with some ground whole-berry wheat flour!

You can take a look at some historic pictures on the town's website.
