John Work House and Mill Site
John Work House and Mill Site, Historic district in Clark County, Indiana
The John Work House features a Federal style brick construction with symmetrical proportions and individual chimneys for each of its six rooms.
Built in 1811, the property included a gristmill powered by water flowing through a 314-foot limestone tunnel that required five men and 650 pounds of gunpowder.
The site contains a pioneer cemetery with graves dating until 1869, including the final resting place of John Work and his wife Sarah Jackson.
Located at 3709 Tunnel Mill Road in Charlestown, the property operates as part of Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation under the Lincoln Heritage Council.
The mill utilized an advanced system of grain elevators and a water tunnel through a hill, demonstrating early 19th-century industrial engineering methods.
