From the rental house it’s a 14 mile drive south toward Mitchell, IN, and Spring Mill State Park. Step back in time to the early 1860’s. Visit the completely restored pioneer village at Spring Mill State Park. Take a stroll through the village’s 20 plus log cabin structures dating back to the early 1800’s. Interact with and learn from interpreters as they go about “their daily chores” such as rope-making, candle-dipping, blacksmithing, gardening, and weaving. Visit the working limestone Grist Mill. The mill is an original structure that was built in 1817 and grinds corn to this day. Water flowing out of Hamer Cave pours over the enormous water wheel and drives the gears that spin the grindstones. Take a cave boat tour. Have lunch or dinner at the Spring Mill Inn, a 1930s PWA project and vintage period hotel (open year-round). Enjoy local delicacies like persimmon pudding and corn bread made from the grist mill while you’re there. Village Open: May through October. Inn: Open year round with folk music and other special events.

So much to do at Spring Mill. Trails, caves and the “village” to explore. There’s an exhibit of Gus Grissom, one of 3 astronauts from Lawrence County.

A restored 1800s pioneer village and working grist mill; hiking trails; a great old Inn that serves Hoosier faves like persimmon pudding.
