The Historic Mansfield Roller Mill will be open weekends 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. EDT starting Saturday. This schedule runs until Memorial Day weekend, when the mill will resume its normal operating hours, Wednesday through Sunday, 9 - 5.
Visitors are invited to explore this historic facility's three stories, which contain original 1880s milling equipment. Of special interest this year are the new interpretive displays that help tell the story of the mill and the machinery associated with it.
The accompanying gift shop offers a variety of unique items for purchase, including corn meal that was ground at the mill on water-powered buhr stones.
The Historic Mansfield Roller Mill is managed by Raccoon State Recreation Area and is located six miles south of US 36, off State Road 59 in Mansfield.
