This is a replica mill preserved among other exquisitely historical buildings in Carillon Deeds Park. The mill is operated by an overshotwheel from water that is pumped up to the flume to emulate a functioning wheel to grind flour. Inside the building are many museum displays with labels. The displays include wooden gears, millstones and other equipment used to grind grain. The display is based on the mill equipment found in the Staley Mill of Miami County.
