The Mill museum is located in a beautiful setting on the river. It once operated as a grain mill, incorporating new technology and tools as they became available. Guests have the freedom to wander...

Beautiful mill located in the heart of Independence Iowa. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and reduced fall/winter hours we weren't able to tour the inside, but what we could see was interesting. There's a walking trail that winds down the left side of the mill along the water to a park area and another walking trail that takes you along the main street that also wraps around to the opposite side of the mill. Definitely worth a stop

Was closed when we went, but it was still cool. Lots of history posted outdoors and in the windows for reading. Dam was flowing and the scene is quite quaint around the Mill.

Was looking up Iowa attractions on Google and this came up. So glad I made the turn off to see this place. It's absolutely stunning and impressed by the size of the building. Very picturesque.
