On Monday, my mother-in-law took us to the War Eagle Mill – a local working water powered grist mill. My boys had quite an adventure: they watched the working mill, purchased a boomerang in the gift shop, then waded and skipped rocks in the river beside the mill.
The drive to the War Eagle Mill is scenic, but not too long. Once you get to the mill, the kids can walk along the wooden 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.
If you go, be sure to purchase some of the locally ground organic flour and baking mixes.
The mill is open 7 days a week (except in January and February). Here’s a Map to the War Eagle Mill. Here’s a link to the War Eagle Mill’s website.

War Eagle Mill is easily my favorite spot to take pictures in Northwest Arkansas. The mill itself has a tremendous history, the setting is superb, and there’s always so much activity there. From fishing, to wading, feeding the geese, to browsing inside the mill. It’s my favorite!
