Millie's

It's been more than eight decades since the bar and dance hall originally known as The Cedars opened in 1942 on the west side of Priest Lake, Idaho - and almost as long since Ward and Millie Adams took ownership of the bar. All these years later it is still called Millie's.But this isn't just a history of a bar, or a restaurant, or a dance hall. The cedar logs that make up its walls and ceiling, the photos on the walls, and even the name itself carry with them the history of place. The stories recounted here encapsulate the evolving past of the lake community. This building - once The Cedars, now Millie's - offers a microcosm of more than 80 years of the Priest Lake community, a history well worth discovering.
