Dillard Mill State Historic Site
142 Dillard Mill Road
Davisville, Missouri 65456
(573) 244-3120
Dillard Mill rests along side the Huzzah Creek and was the second mill built at that site. The first built in the 1850s was destroyed in 1895 by fire. Farmers brought their grain to the mill to be ground into flour. Operation of the mill ceased in 1956. Most of the original machinery remains intact and operational. During a tour of the mill, a turn of a wheel brings the machinery back to life. Tours are given year-round and visitors should bring a jacket because the mill is not heated. Visitors can also wade across the creek to a one and a half mile hiking trail. If you visit Dillard Mill on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, walk next door and treat yourself to a fresh cooked meal at The Traveler's Table.
