Going to Mill as Vacation for Missouri Pioneer Farmers
A Missouri State Historical Society reminiscence describes how going to mill was a yearly social and economic event for pioneer farmers. The piece notes rough roads, planned communal trips, and the mill as a social hub where families traded goods, shared news, and faced delays when water was low. It recounts stories of mill life, the miller's authority, and the enduring memory of water-powered mills along Missouri’s streams.
