Bollinger Mill State Historic Site

The four-story stone and brick mill structure stands tall along the Whitewater River, featuring original milling equipment and mechanisms inside its walls.

Established in 1797 by George Frederick Bollinger through a Spanish land grant, the site underwent multiple reconstructions until its current form was completed in 1867.

The mill represents Missouri's agricultural development, demonstrating the transition from manual grain processing to industrial milling techniques in the nineteenth century.

Visitors can access the first floor and basement of the mill throughout the year, with the adjacent Burfordville Covered Bridge open for exploration.

The mill contains the original limestone foundation from 1825, which survived the Civil War destruction and forms the base of the current structure.
