MI, IONIA COUNTY:  THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR Bulletin Of The Sebewa Center Association; Volume 15, October 1979, Number 2.  Submitted With Permission Of Current Editor Grayden D. Slowins. October 1979
A FIRST FOR SEBEWA
The Michigan History Division, Department of State, Secretary of Stat’s Office 
to Lansing has announced that the old Weippert Mill on Sebewa Creek at the 
corner of Bippley and Keefer Roads in Sebewa Township has been added to the 
State Register of Historical Buildings.  David Schroeder’s application for the 
building’s historic designation was sponsored by The Sebewa Center Association.

The mill and dam were built in 1876 by Adrew Weippert on the site where Melvin 
Rogers and Charles Ingalls had previously had such an operation.  Mr. Weippert 
operated the mill until his death in 1903.  It was later in business under the 
successive managements of John Benedict, Harry Gibson and a Mr. Merritt.  
Although it was primarily a grist mill, buckwheat flour was one of its products.

This is the first time that any building in Sebewa Township has been placed on 
the State Register of Historic Buildings and probably the first such building 
to be so honored in the south part of Ionia County.
