This old mill and covered bridge is located in Bufordsville, Missouri. While not in operation now in it's day it could grind tons of wheat and corn. All of the timbers in the mill and covered bridge were cut from the forest surrounding the old mill. Normanly the water in the stream is crystal clear but due to heavy rains there was a stain to the water.
