Thank you Roger. I have great memories of visiting Spring Mill State Park as a child. I think southern Indiana is one of the most beautiful places on earth and your films confirm that.
Yes, and Red Mill, built in 1821, still stands on sister river in Shelby and Johnson counties, Sugar Creek. It stands on the West side London Rd just South of the new bridge on CR 400 N. Unfortunately, when the new bridge was built, the mill race was eliminated, although the Eastern walls of the race still stand. Red Mill closed in the 1970s and is still owned and maintained by Garver family descendants of the last operators. Before the Covid pandemic shutdown, it was an annual featured field trip for local students. I do not know whether the trips have resumed. My family owned the 2nd farm downstream on the left bank near Boggstown. The Joseph Boggs Historical Society exhibits numerous renderings of The Red Mill at their museum in Boggstown.
I live near and have spent a lot of time around and inside the Bonneyville Mill. Really a beautiful, secluded spot that offers a lot of ways to enjoy nature. The trout fishing around those streams is amazing and our local parks department still grinds grains in the mill for public sale! I've whipped up some great cornbread with their product.
It’s a shame that it couldn’t be saved. Back then, people didn’t think of how it might be a big tourist draw, like Bridgeton or Rockville. If money was available, a reconstructed mill and revitalized town, in 1800’s era store fronts, could be a huge attraction.
Thank-you, Sean! I credit my parents for my love of Indiana. They took us on many fun road trips, and my life would seem weird if I wasn’t exploring and finding new places! 🙂
That was cool! You showed John Woods mill in Merrillville. It was abandoned when i was little an i would beg my dad to take us in it. He wouldn't. Then in the 7os they started to restore it an a tornado just missed it! Took down trees all around it. I finally got to go in it! It's beautiful. Beautiful flowers around it too. My sister in law got married there. Makes for beautiful wedding pictures. She even came to the wedding in a carriage from our friends house that boarders the park. Thank you. Love old mills.
Was lucky enough to visit Spring Mill this past weekend. Such a a beautiful place tucked away in these southern Indiana woods… looking forward to visiting some of the others you covered. The history and life lived in some of those cabin walls makes you realize what we take for granted every day…. Thanks Roger another great video
My pleasure! When I was a kid, the 1776 American Bicentennial was in full swing, and my elementary was both teaching all the history, and taking us on field trips to learn about pioneer life. I was just in love with all of it! However, my Mother had been a city girl, living in downtown Indianapolis, and her parents moved the family to rural Lawrence county, when she was a teenager. They didn’t even have electricity or running water at first! “Mom, I wish I could go back in time and be a pioneer!” She looked at me straight-faced and said, “I did that, and let me tell you: it’s not that great.” 😂
I went to spring mill state park. It was neat. I live in jasper area . The jasper mill is neat. About a mile from my home on the patoka river there used to be a mill in the early 1800’s. According to my neighbor who is a historian Abraham Lincoln and his father went there. The only thing left is a few logs sticking out of the bank. This was before the time of jasper mill. Loved the video Roger.
Thanks Edward! There were a TON of mills, especially in southern Indiana, where people from the east floated down the Ohio River to Louisville, Kentucky. The Falls of the Ohio rapids required they get out of the water and go around the area, or settle at Louisville. Some ferried across to Indiana, and with all the grains farmers produced,mills were a necessity! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to Spring Mill, but it’s my hands down favorite.
@@edwardh1591 Do you have anyone that can transport and push you places? Spring Mills village is mostly flat pavement, I suggest it for anyone looking for a low-mobility day out.
@@geraldmckillip5594 I’m a big fan of both Indiana’s history and folklore. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell the difference! A lot of insane things have happened here, that defy logic!
Absolutely amazing video...Spring Mill was always my favorite as a kid.... It's been too long.... The sound of the Walbash is calling a Hoosier son home.....
Beautiful area! Although I’ve covered Spring Mill in other videos, there have been some noteworthy updates, worthy of another! The biggest is the trail to Donaldson Cave. It has been rebuilt and makes it easier, and safer, to enter the dry cave section. It’s pretty safe, and perfect for a family adventure!
Another professional video 😊. I love going to Spring Mill when I'm home. It is just a few miles down the road from Fayetteville where home is. The major broadcasters focus on New England states, and they forget how much the great state of Indiana has contributed to the growth of America 🇺🇸.
I’ve had many conversations, especially with people in Indianapolis, about how Indiana’s wonders aren’t well-marketed. Often times, people that live north of Columbus, don’t even know about Spring Mill or Clifty Falls. The state of Indiana tends to market Indy sports, museums, wineries, and “oh, southern Indiana has some historic places down there.” After 171 films, and still many to go, there is so much more to discover! 🙂
Excellent video Roger . So peaceful and beautiful scenery as well as thought provoking ☺️💕. Sharing 👍. Love seeing all these beautiful places of my home state .
Thanks Ginamaria! I did a BUNCH of filming, 5 segments worth, right before the Canadian wildfires: was blessed with blue skies and sun! Hopefully things will get back to normal and soon!
I grew up here, and my parents took us to interesting places all over the state when we were kids. I enjoy preserving Indiana’s places and stories, for everyone to enjoy, anytime they want! 🙂
That spot at 7:35 is my favorite spot in any state park. I've been going to spring mill multiple times a year since I was a small child. (I'm 43 now) The wind coming from that spillway is natural air conditioning on a hot summer day. What a wonderful presentation you've made of these beautiful Indiana landmarks!
I really enjoyed this virtual trip to the mills of Indiana-some of my favorite places! I lost my Dad this Spring and the stop at Rothrock mill was especially poignant for me as he often took us kids their to fish in the summer. Great memories! Thanks for showcasing our beautiful Indiana! Safe travels ✨✨
Sorry to hear about your Father. Maybe you’re a little like me, in that many of these places hold good memories, of the ones we love. Although my family didn’t live in Southern Indiana, when I was growing up, we came here for day trips. I can see them in so many places, and it gives me peace.
@@AdventureswithRoger thank you Roger. Yes, I would agree. These special places absolutely give me peace and puts a smile on my face for a moment. I think that’s why many of us have such a strong connection with history and nature. It truly can be a little magical.
Spring Mill State Park was a favorite go to place with my family, growing up. Each visit, my brothers and I had to stand in front of the water wheel for a photo. Fun to see our growing sizes compared to the wheel 😁 Thanks for the memories 😊
My Mom went to school in Hardinsburg. She used to tell how they went to Becks Mill for school picnics. I was so thankful they restored it! I went to school at West Washington. Our school picnics were at Spring Mill.
i fish the bridgeton and mansfield mills quite often. I have even fried a few of the fish i caught there battered in the batter ground in the mill at bridgeton, he also sells ice cream, a great place to take the family
Totally beautiful area! One of my first documentaries was about the covered bridges of Parke County, and I found Bridgeton, along the way. Due to plain bad planning, on this trip, I was unable to film inside Bridgeton and Mansfield Mills: closed. But, if I inspire people to go, at least it wasn’t a bad idea. 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger that guy doing the shoveling off the corner in the video owns the place, if he would have known you were shooting a video he would of been happy to give you a tour. He is very proud of all the restoration work he has been doing over the last dozen years or so. I'll have to go back and check out that video on covered bridges, it sounds pretty cool
@@chamblen4 Missed opportunity! One of my friends showed me a picture, from earlier this week: now I doubly wish I would’ve made it in! A long while back, I made a long video about the then 32 covered bridges in Parke County. I sold them as VHS tapes, didn’t even break even! Over a decade or so later, I did a three part series on southern Indiana covered bridges, posted them to UA-cam: also a flop! 😂 Not everything I like is popular!
Metamora is one of the most magical places in Indiana! Come to St.Paul, Indiana and see the old limestone excavation areas. Where they dug out of Pats pond. There is a cave there called Dead mans cave because of hobo that died in there where he lived. It's got a beautiful falls that feeds into the flat Rock river with a few smaller caves. And the limestone mill is located on Hidden Paradise campground. The old mining cart rails are still there, but most of the walls are falling down due to erosion, but still noticeable. Lots of history that little town. Lincoln came through on his inauguration. Lots of other things but my thumb hurts.
My pleasure, Steven! Both sides of my family are from Lawrence County, and I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve visited Spring Mill! I’m working on an updated Spring Mill State Park guide, as they’ve made some changes. The biggest is a huge ramp that goes into Donaldson Cave.
EXCELLENT video! My family (From Louisville) went to Spring Mill at least once each summer. You can STILL buy corn meal ground by the water powered mill! Makes GREAT cornbread!
Thank-you, Jason! I’ve been there tons of times, but probably the best visit was when they did “Christmas in the Village.” It was really cold, and so dark I carried a flashlight, but the cabins had roaring fireplaces and wonderful people. Christmas carols, candy canes, just a very special evening!
@@AdventureswithRoger I'd never heard of "Christmas in the Village"! I'm an old gimpy cancer survivor now, but heartwarming to hear, even if I can't participate! THANKS!!
I’m on a mission to complete my tour of Southern Indiana, but would like to assemble a video of places, people can go with wheelchairs / limited mobility.
Beautiful area! One of my first documentaries took me to every single covered bridge in Parke County. At the time, there were 32: I got all of them in two days! My wife helped me do rolling shots, where she drove while I monitored a camera, perched on top of the car. After it was done, she said, “I never want to see another covered bridge in my life.” 😂
I only learned of Rothrock Mill, last year, and first visited the ruins in early June. Clear water, and a few people were out tubing on a beautiful day!
Another one that bit the dust, in 1970. I have one just down the road on 150, at Fredericksburg, that just has the building, no wheel, and operates as a canoe rental place.
@@fredflintstone6163 I had not heard that! I know that wheels weren't as hard to come by or build as were actual mill stones. A large number of those came from France, but I haven't read why. Maybe it's a certain type of durable stone that they were better at producing.
@@AdventureswithRoger I believe you are right that there was not an operating mill there. I wonder if the mill there now is a replica, or rather an actual mill that was disassembled and brought to Fowler Park? I know all the pioneer cabins there were historic cabins that were moved to the park. Your video really makes me want to go back to Spring Mill Park!
The ambassador of Indiana has produced another work of art!
Totally agree ☺️
Thank you Roger. I have great memories of visiting Spring Mill State Park as a child. I think southern Indiana is one of the most beautiful places on earth and your films confirm that.
I second that! I thank my parents for showing me a wonderful world down here
"The Bears of Blue River" is an amazing book written by Charles Major.

Bonneyville Mill is a beauty! I’d like to spend a few days in northern Indiana, maybe in the fall or early spring. There’s still a lot to discover!
I showed my dad who is 76 the last picture on this video.
He said it had been a long time since he had seen the old mill at Milltown
It’s a shame that it couldn’t be saved. Back then, people didn’t think of how it might be a big tourist draw, like Bridgeton or Rockville. If money was available, a reconstructed mill and revitalized town, in 1800’s era store fronts, could be a huge attraction.
I cannot believe how wholesome your content is. As usual, I am very impressed. You have such an amazing talent to create digital history….well done!
Thank-you! I’ve got 5 more Indiana segments filmed and ready for edit. Hopefully they’ll turn out well! 🙂
You've given me more ideas for road trips.
You and I travel so much, that we’re bound to cross paths again!

I loved the mill at Spring Mill park. Mansfield and Bridgeton are really good ones to visit too. Thanks for sharing
Always a pleasure to share these

Shelby county at Boggstown has the Red Mills
Another one that bit the dust, in 1970. I have one just down the road on 150, at Fredericksburg, that just has the building, no wheel, and operates as a canoe rental place.
I am a descendant of both Jacob Spicer Horner and John McPheeters. Owners of McPheeters Mill on the Blue River near Fredericksburg IN.
I almost included the Old Mill Canoe Rental place, on 150. Had the footage, but I didn’t really have the history, to do it any justice.
