 Bollinger
has outstanding exhibits and displays to interpret the mill and the
milling industry. This is the site of one of the oldest grist
mills west of the Mississippi. The original log mill was built in
1800 on land that was then part of a Spanish land grant. The
mill was rebuilt in 1825 and the stone foundation and dam still exist.
The mill was burned by Union forces during the Civil War. It was
rebuilt and completed in 1867.
Next to the mill
is a beautiful park and the oldest surviving covered bridge in
Missouri (1868). |
