Hodgson Water Mill in Ozark County, Missouri #ozarks #missouri #historicmills
Hodgson Water Mill in Dora, MO. One of my favorite places. Hodgson Mill products (flour, cornmeal, etc) are still sold in stores too! #mill #spring #missouri
I had been seeing this mill pop up on Facebook and discovered that it was only about an hour away! Such a beautiful spot. There are picnic tables, bridges and trails. People swim in the water as well! A true gem tucked away in the Ozark mountains! Hodgson Water Mill, only a few minutes away through famous Ozark County scenery. From Dawt, return to PP Hwy. and turn left on PP to H Hwy. Turn left on H and go north to Hwy. 181. Turn left again on Hwy. 181 to Hodgson Mill. Built in 1861 to harness the power of a massive spring flowing into Bryant Creek and rebuilt in 1897, the tall, three-story frame building nestles against a bluff of the Bryant. Though the mill no longer grinds grain, it still houses the old milling machinery. (The nationally distributed line of stone-ground bakery products bearing the Hodgson name is now produced at a modern mill in nearby Gainesville.) The spring still spews nearly 3,000,000 gallons of clear, cold water a day. Besides the mill, it once powered a cotton gin, a lumber mill, and a clothing factory. In pre-REA days, the power of the water also generated electricity for all the mill-site enterprises. And, once upon a time, thanks to the constant 58 degree temperature of the spring, the mill was a popular site for neighborhood dances. Issuing from the bluff under the mill building, the spring is still picturesque. It nourishes native ferns and mosses clinging to crevices in the sheer rock wall. Some of the water is diverted to the mill pond, where watercress and other marine plants thrive. Inside the mill building, an opening to a cave in the face of the bluff provides natural air conditioning. A modern day facility in nearby Gainesville, MO is still producing and distributing the all natural stone ground flours of the past under the Hodgson Mill name. #LIFEATEXPEDIA #WATERMILL #LOCALSIGHTS #OZARKMOUNTAINS #IHEARTTHEOZARKS

The rooms and staff were great! The heated poop wasn’t working though. The water was cold. Other than that we had an amazing stay
