Missouri, Oregon County, Mark Twain National Forest, Greer Mill Historic Site (North Elevation/Side and West Elevation/Rear

            The two-and-half story Greer Mill was built in 1899 on a hill up from Greer Springs.  The roller mill was powered by a turbine water wheel at the spring.  A complex system of cables and pulleys transmitted power from the turbine below to the mill on top of the hill 1,140 feet above the spring.  The rectangular structure features a copula to facilitate ventilation by drawing air through the mill.  The mill ceased operations in 1920.  Most of the mill equipment was removed. The mill was in private ownership for a number of years and was a near ruin.  The U. S. Forest Service- Mark Twain National Forest, purchased the mill, including the spring, in 1993 with a proviso that the seller could control the property until 2013.  With the involvement of a local non-profit organization the mill was restored by 2018.  The Greer Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
