Description
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season with a visit to this historical site – Rock Mill – a restored gristmill from the early 1800s. Cookies and hot drinks will be served. The park is open year-round during daylight hours. The mill, though, is only open during “Rock Mill Days” or special events such as this one. The 2025 season has ended but will resume in 2026, May through October, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays, and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. On the last Sunday of each month, weather permitting, there will be milling demonstrations. Corn is ground the way it was done 200 years ago! You may even be able to help use the bolter to sift the meal and bag it.
Rock Mill stands at least 90’ above the gorge of Hocking River Falls. 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 the beautiful setting! Bring your own drinking water. Potable water is not available at this location. There is no heat inside the mill so be sure to dress for the weather, including footwear. Pets are welcome in the park but are not allowed inside Rock Mill. Pets must be under control at all times and on a leash no longer than 6’. For the health and safety of all, pick up and properly dispose of pets’ waste.
