In late 2002, the former Eagle Point Baptist Church was purchased and was transformed from a religious building into the Blessing Museum, a public museum and work space. The Blessing Museum in Drayton is now full of exhibits, artifacts, and landscaping elements that include unique historical features, including a full-size ox cart replica and a sign recognizing Drayton’s union with the former town of Blessing, ND. A replica sod house occupies the east edge of the grounds and an authentic log outhouse stands nearby. The sidewalk on the grounds of the museum is constructed of vintage “Drayton” bricks most of which were harvested from an old hotel’s basement. A historic log home was brought from a location in Minnesota and was installed as the most recent addition to the outdoor collection.
The mill stone on the museum grounds is one half of the stone used to grind flour at a Drayton flour mill on the south side of Drayton c. 1918. The stone was found on the banks of the Red River in 1980; the whereabouts of the matching stone are unknown. Stone grinders are the oldest type of grinder with two circular grinding stones. One stone turns against a stationary stone. Grooves are cut into the stone radiating out from the center of the stone to the ends. Grain falls through a channel into the center of the two stones and, as the stone rotates, it pulls the grain out through the channels to be ground. The flour falls out the outer edges of the two stones. Mill stones weighed hundreds of pounds and were turned by windmills, water wheels or animals.
