| Description | Built in 1849, Bear's Mill is an authentic example of a stonegrinding flourmill of its time. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, it is still in use today to grind yellow cornmeal, soft whole wheat flour, cracked wheat and rye flour. The buhr stones are powered by water from the Greenville Creek.
Everyone who comes to Bear’s Mill during business hours is welcome to take a free self-guided tour of the 4 story structure and take a walk in the scenic woods surrounding the mill. Guided tours may be scheduled for a fee.
The first floor of the mill is a store and art gallery where one can purchase the mill flours and other gourmet sundries and giftware. The mill offers a line of gift boxes and custom baskets. A special feature is handmade pottery by the Bear’s Mill potters and artwork by regional artists.
Bear's Mill is run by ‘The Friends of Bear’s Mill’ (a non profit organization whose mission is to preserve and keep the mill open to the public for touring and educational purposes). One of the sources of income for the mill is through store sales, so if you visit the mill and do not wish to make a purchase, please drop a gift in the donation box on your way out. It helps to keep the mill open for all to see.
