Busti Historical Society The Busti Historical Society is home to the restored 1839 Busti Grist Mill, the 1846 miller's house, museum and demonstration building. Come see us in Busti!

We actively collect and preserve Busti History and teach about history and skills of the 1800's. We are open 11 am-2 pm the third Sunday of every month May through October, or by appointment. We restored and now maintain, and demonstrate the 1839 historic Busti Grist Mill. Every fall we host the annual Busti Apple Festival on the last Sunday of September. We are actively collecting and preserving documents, artifacts, photos and information about the local families both past and present that have lived here in Busti. We teach pioneer and 19th century life and survival skills. Renovation and restoration of the 1846 miller house is our ongoing project. Our monthly meetings are held on the grounds the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Museum basement March through December.
