Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, Burfordville,
MO
I love to visit old mills and covered bridges. This
one is not far from Johnson County located northwest of Cape Girardeau, MO.
"The location of grain milling for almost
200 years, the present four-story stone and brick gristmill and 140-foot covered bridge were completed around 1867.
A visit to the mill offers a hint of the 19th century, as water-powered millstones rumble to life, producing the
sights and sounds of corn being ground into meal. Guided tours of the mill are available for a fee. Picnicking
is available near the Howe-truss bridge, the oldest of only four covered bridges in the state."
