Mill Springs Mill, Historic watermill in Wayne County, Kentucky.
The Mill Springs Mill stands as a three-story frame building with a 40-foot-high water wheel, positioned near the Cumberland River in Kentucky.
Built in 1877, the mill earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and underwent restoration by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1976.
The mill remains a center for agricultural heritage education, demonstrating traditional grain grinding methods that sustained local farming communities for generations.
Visitors can observe actual corn grinding demonstrations during seasonal weekend openings and purchase items at the gift shop operated by the Monticello Woman's Club.
The mill features an exceptional 40-foot-high water wheel, replacing the original 28-foot wooden wheel that operated from 1877 to 1907.
