Have you Tinkled Today?

 Jim and I visited the mill on July 22, 2003.  Click on the small pictures to see a full size shot with description, and just scroll through the photo's using the arrows.

Dawt Mill is located two miles northeast of Tecumseh, about a mile off Route PP. The first mill was built on the site in 1892, but later burned. The present mill was built in 1909 by Alva Hodgson.

Following several owners through the years, Dr. and Mrs. Edward Henegar purchased the mill in 1995 and began a major restoration of the mill and renovation of the surrounding property. A conference center/lodge was built, along with a restaurant and deli, and the old general store was restored. Lodging, camping and picnic sites and canoe and tube rentals are available, and various special outdoor entertainment events are held during the warmer months.

This is the only mill in the area still grinding flour and meal with burrstones. Baked goods using the fresh-ground grains can be purchased in the mill's bakery. Handcrafted items also are available at the mill's gift shop.
