Description
Standing 90’ above the gorge of Hocking River Falls is Rock Mill, a restored 1800s gristmill. In 1905, it closed for business and fell into disrepair. After a decade-long restoration effort ending in 2017, it roared to life and milled grain again for the first time in over 100 years! Come see this amazing piece of history, enjoy the view from Rock Mill Covered Bridge, and enjoy the beautiful setting!
