Bear's Mill, Industrial heritage museum in Greenville, Ohio, United States.
The four-story wooden structure stands along Greenville Creek, utilizing water power to transport grain through different levels for processing and milling purposes.
Gabriel Baer established the mill in 1849, importing French Buhr millstones after finding local stones inadequate for the grain grinding operations.
The Mill Gallery presents rotating exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, and photographs from artists across the Ohio Valley region throughout the year.
The Mill Market sells stone-ground flours, meals, gourmet foods, local jams, clothing, jewelry, and various homemade products crafted by regional artisans.
The mill contains hand-hewn timber beams extending 50 feet without splices, demonstrating nineteenth-century construction methods still functioning in modern times.
