Homesteading during the Oklahoma Land Run years, the J. Lloyd Ford family built their original log cabin in 1895. Preserved by his company the landmark still stands today. The mill, started in 1906, is a legacy to his insistence on quality products. He set the standards for Shawnee Mills®, still operated by the third and fourth generations of Ford family millers. A favorite statement from J. Lloyd Ford was, "No one of us would amount to much without the help and influence of family and friends."
