Bollinger Mill State Historic Site
Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, State historic site in Cape Girardeau County, United States.
Bollinger Mill is a four-story structure of stone and brick standing beside the Whitewater River with an imposing exterior. Inside, original milling wheels, gears, and machinery for grinding grain remain largely intact.
The site was founded in 1797 and underwent several rebuildings before reaching its current form in 1867. It was part of early settlement and development along the river.
The mill shows how people in this region processed grain and what role such facilities played in daily life. The building itself reflects the work and techniques that generations of millers practiced here.
Visitors can enter the ground floor and basement year-round, and the nearby Burfordville Covered Bridge is open for exploration. It helps to check in advance which areas are accessible for tours.
The limestone foundation dates to 1825 and survived the destruction of the Civil War era. This sturdy base supports the building today and shows the durability of the original construction.
