Spring Mill State Park, State park in Lawrence County, United States.
Spring Mill State Park spans 1,358 acres of karst terrain with limestone formations, caves, sinkholes, and a pioneer village along flowing springs.
The industrial settlement established in 1814 contained a gristmill, sawmill, wool mill, and distillery, powered by constant water from cave springs.
The Grissom Memorial contains space artifacts, including the Gemini 3 capsule and personal items from astronaut Virgil Grissom, who grew up nearby.
The park maintains 188 electrical campsites, primitive camping areas, nine hiking trails, and seasonal boat tours through Twin Caves.
The restored 1817 limestone gristmill continues to produce cornmeal using water power, demonstrating nineteenth-century milling techniques.
