A weekend outing to the War Eagle Mill is an excellent way to take advantage of an unexpected break in the cold weather. The drive is scenic, but not too long. Once you get to the mill, the kids can walk along the bridge, feed the ducks, and browse for trinkets at the mill’s store. The Bean Palace Restaurant on the third floor features the Mill’s whole grains for breakfast and lunch.
