Description
Located in War Eagle, Arkansas, this mill was originally burned during the Civil War by Confedarate troops in order to keep the Union Army from taking it as a mainstay. This is still an operational grist mill and has tours daily.
Today's War Eagle Mill is a modern
reproduction of the third structure, which no
longer stands. Although it is a 20th Century
construction, the mill provides a fascinating
opportunity to see an authentic water
powered gristmill in operation. In addition, it
is set on the banks of War Eagle River in one
of the most beautiful natural settings in
Arkansas.
When it was completed in 1973, War Eagle
Mill was the first new gristmill built in
Arkansas in nearly one century.
