My hometown has a lot going for it - and one of the things that is fun is the War Eagle Mill. Some history and events that are there is listed on the back of the card- this is what it says: A little bit of history:
War Eagle Mill, Arkansas. War Eagle Mill is a working gristmill in Benton County, Arkansas. A mill has been located on the site as early as 1832, but was destroyed three times, and last rebuilt in 1973. The mill currently operates as an undershot gristmill, and houses a store and restaurant. The mill is located approximately 10 miles east of the city of Rogers in War Eagle, Arkansas.
An Added Note by Jan leslie:
It is a popular place that host craft shows many times a year. Crafters flock to this spot from all over the United States to show their unique talents and crafts. Among the crafts are; Wood Carvers; Leather Crats; Glass Blowers; Metal Pieces and Tools; Quilts & Afghans; Sweets and so much more!
There is a mill store; where they sell their own grain they mill. There is a restaurant on sight as well. The bridge gives the water underneath a beautiful view of the waterfalls and scenery. It is a fun place for the whole family!!

Don't we all love our home towns? Great store with this red by the bridge mill. When we go beyond the borders of our urban areas, we can often times come upon these former or still in use mills. I can just picture this one IRL. Thanks or the card and the history. I love both.
