Hodgson Water Mill in Ozark County, Missouri















Visited Hodgson Water Mill in Ozark County Mo. for the second time. Everything is all green and very beautiful, lots of native ferns and mosses. My son even almost picked up a huge snake while climbing a hill. Even got a picture of it. Built in 1861 to harness the power of a massive spring flowing in Bryant Creek and rebuilt in 1897. It spews 3,000,000 gallons of clear cold water a day. Some of the water is diverted to the mill pond. Inside the mill building, an opening to a cave in the face of the bluff provides natural air conditioning. Picnic area across the road from the mill.
