The Old Mill Room
Construction of the Old Aztec Grist Mill was started in 1860 and completed four years
later at a cost of $48,000. The three story building was constructed for Lucian Maxwell
who had a government contract to supply flour, corn meal, and horse and cattle feed to Ft.
Union and the Indian Agency which fed the Ute and Jicarilla Apache. As the mill was
powered by water, a one mile ditch was dug to channel water to the mill. The mill ceased
commercial operation in 1886. In 1930, the CS Cattle Company bought the building and
surrounding acreage. They built the stables which are at the rear of the building and here
they raised and trained polo ponies. The ground floor of the Old Mill was the
headquarters of the Cimarron Polo Club. In 1967, the CS turned the Old Mill into a
museum. Today, Buddy and Irma are your hosts and welcome you to Cimarron, where
the old West still lives.
This small room has one double bed and is designed for one or two guests. There is a
full bath with tub and shower. All of our towels are the highest grade - thick and plush.
Color cable television, phone, in-room full size coffee maker with complimentary coffee,
and alarm clocks are amenities included for our guest's convenience.
