They have a nice trail & scenery. They have many fun activities that are usually free or die a donation.
Went to see this after reading about it. It is a cute area with Mill pond and restored grist Mill. There was a Wedding going on here and it was a lovely site for such. lovely pond and some interesting pictures in the the building that was former home of the Mill family,
My husband and I came here on Monday, June 9, as part of our vacation. While the main buildings were closed, only open on weekends, we enjoyed walking around and viewing the serenity of the area! Being that it was dusk, it was a beautiful place to be as the sun set. There is ample parking and plenty of picnic areas for those wishing to do so. The drive to this park is also scenic and very nice homes along the way. Along with the mill, there is also a covered bridge, waterway, modern-version outhouse, a cooperage and a vintage barn along with other things to see. I just wish it had been open during the week!
Was part of a tour we had with the Rolls-Royce Owners Club. Everyone was really interested in seeing this mill work. If you are into mechanical things, this is a great place to learn how they coupled everything with water power.A great place to take kids (as well as grown-ups) to show how life was in the 1800s. Had an excellent tour and explanations of many facets of the mill.
Visit it while there was the Heritage day. Lot of old crafts and activities to see. Situated in lovely sourandings. The Mill in it self is very interesting to see, especially when one has the opertunity to see it in working condition. The dam with it's fish ladder is very butifull. A lovely spot for picnic.
When we go for a random drive in the country, this is where we land... it's so peaceful and has plenty of sights and beautiful scenery. On the occasions that we have been there it wasn't too crowded even though you see other people, they are not keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors. Love it there!
This stop is worth your time. Stop by on a Sunday afternoon, during the summer, an see the mill running. Take time to walk through the park and around the pond. Check out the fish ladder to see if you can spot a fish climbing it. Also there is a board walk at the north end of the park for a short nature hike.
Spent an Autumn day touring this historical site. The tour guide was very interesting and the grounds were beautiful. If you visit Beloit be sure not to miss this beautiful spot!
Stopped here on our way to New Glarus, WI. Although the mill (and all the other buildings) were closed, the park was open. I had a nice hike (all by myself) around in the fresh snow and got some good photos of the old buildings and farm/sawmill equipment. There is a nice lake, covered bridge and dam. The mill does not have a exposed wheel but still worth the stop.
Wonderful area history in a beautiful natural setting. Historic buildings on Raccoon Creek. Buildings only on weekends. But still a nice place to get away to.
