The Bridgeton Mill

The Bridgeton Mill is a beautiful historic site as well as a fully operational gristmill. Each of our products is fresh stone ground and 100% natural.

Bridgeton Mill is located in scenic Parke County, IN - home to 32 covered bridges and the Covered Bridge Festival. There are several other events that take place at the mill year round, and it is open for business throughout the warm months. The mill is also available for private tours, school field trips, parties, and weddings. Please contact us for more information and available dates.

Come watch as the massive French Buhr stones gently grind wheat into flour and corn into meal. Feel the vibration in the floor as they do their work. Learn how one of the world's first factories was operated, and see Indiana's most famous covered bridge!
