Mill Springs Mill

Mill Springs Mill is a historic watermill located in Wayne County, Kentucky, built in 1877 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Nestled near the Cumberland River, the mill features a striking 40-foot water wheel and is surrounded by scenic springs, reportedly discovered by pioneer Daniel Boone. The site includes the mill itself, a small roadside park, and a former granary now serving as a gift shop. Visitors can tour the mill on weekends seasonally and witness traditional corn grinding, making it a fascinating destination for both tourists and researchers interested in local history and engineering.
