Mills and Springs

Mills and Springs in the Ozarks — Springs and creeks in the Ozarks attracted settlers from the very first days. Strong springs at Hodgsen Mill  and Alley Springs are examples of the massively productive springs that produce millions of gallons of sparkling cold water daily.  Production that was harnessed to become powerful tools running equipment to grind grain, saw lumber and produce electricity.   Some mills and springs in the Ozarks are open to the public and others are on private land while others are part of gracious resorts to enhance your visit to the Ozarks.   You are invited to visit the Gallery of Old Mills in the Ozarks.
