War Eagle Mill

A water-powered mill on War Eagle Creek that still operates, with a century-old single-lane iron bridge and a mill restaurant nearby.

The mill was rebuilt in the 1970s to its 19th-century original design. A large wooden waterwheel powers millstones that grind grain. The ground floor sells cornmeal, pancake mix and other products, and the Bean Hole restaurant on the top floor serves Southern breakfast and lunch. The 1908 single-lane iron bridge beside it crosses the creek and is a classic photo spot. Every October the long-running War Eagle Crafts Fair is held. Admission to the mill is free, and winter hours are shorter. It is about 35 km from Bentonville.
