We were just driving along and saw a brown sign. Took the road and came across this very cool gem of a site. We were there on Sept.24. So it wasn't open. But still very interesting to read the signs and admire the amazing stone buildings. The bridge story is very interesting also. They have done a lot of work there and seem to have more planned There is a great camping area there with nice clean toilets. Good job to everyone involved. Beautiful country. Very glad we stopped

Gorgeous Historic Peaceful place in gorgeous Clayton County. Ten minutes away from the Big Spring Clayton County fish hatchery. Well worth the drive just steps away from your car you can park and take photos. This is such a special place! Historic old grain mill a must see! Nice camo ground with lots of spots available.

Like other reviewers - simply stumbled upon the Motor Mill (was the pullout point for our kayak trip) and were so pleasantly suprised. They just finished their remodel of the Inn and the museum in the Mill building. Interesting history on a very pretty spot. I am nervous that frequent flooding is going to make it a tricky spot, but I am excited to see it in a few years. Would be a great spot for a wedding or other event. Hope they get...

An historical site that is being restored. This is an interesting site that is a work in progress with volunteers doing most of the work. In the summer months they host a number of open house weekends, a lot of time with artists and craftsmen and women showing their skills. There is a camp site and is popular with canoeists and tubers floating down the scenic...
