The
Old Mill
The Old Mill, located at Fairway Ave. & Lakeshore Drive in North
Little Rock, is a historic re-creation of an 1880's water-powered
grist mill. The mill was seen in the opening scenes of David Selznick's
1937 movie classic "Gone
With The Wind", and is believed to be the only remaining
structure from the film. Admission to The Old Mill is free, and
the hours of operation are from sunrise to sunset.
The Old Mill, also known as Pugh's Mill, was built in 1933 by
Justin Matthews as a replica of an old-water-powered grist mill.
The mill was designed to appear as if it belonged in Arkansas
and had been here since the 1800s. It is made largely from tinted
concrete work over steel and copper rods made to represent wood,
iron or stone, and features sculptures by Mexican artist Senor
Dionicio Rodriguez.
