The mill is a 3 story red frame mill with a hip roof built in an "L" shape. There is a scenic steel bridge with limestone piers next to the mill. The first mill was built sometime in the 1830's by Sylvanus Blackburn and was washed out, along with its log and stone dam, in 1848. The second mill on these foundations was burned during the Civil War by the Confederates to keep the mills resources out of Northern hands. In 1873, Blackburn's son, James A.C. Blackburn, rebuilt the mill for the third time. This lasted until 1924, when it too burned.

The current mill, a reproduction of A.C.'s 1873 mill was built one hundred years later, in 1973 by Jewell and Leta Medlin and Zoe Medlin Caywood in order to preserve the history of grist milling and its importance in being the catalyst for community development in the 18th and 19th centuries. The mill is shown beside the steel bridge. Notice the undershot waterwheel at the rear of the mill to the left of the pier.

The first floor grinding area is pictured with the belting apparatus that can either use power from the 18ft. undershot wheel or electricity if need be to power the 150 year old stone buhr mill. The second floor contains a gift shop as does some of the first foor, but the first is concerned more with mill products sales. The third floor is primarily a restaurant called the "Bean Palace Restaurant". The flood in April 2002 left a water mark about halfway up on the first floor windows.

The view from the middle of the bridge over War Eagle Creek looking back at the mill. The pictures were taken in May 2002. An amazing job of cleanup work after the flood. The address: 11045 War Eagle Rd. ,Rogers, Arkansas 72756.
