Let's explore Jolly Mill. Using a water powered grist mill to grind corn or for making flour.

I had a great time grinding corn at Jolly Mill in Newton County Missouri.
Built in 1848, Jolly Mill has been in operation ever since. This is a great example of an authentic working grist mill nestled in the Ozarks mountains.
In this video I take you around the Jolly Mill Park and show some of the features of the picturesque park grounds. And after a little maintenance, the mill comes to life and the crew demonstrates how corn is ground into corn mill.
These mills were the original "green" energy manufacturing plants. There is so much history associated with these old grist mills and each one has it's own story to tell. Join me as we explore water mills all over the country.

Welcome to Millin' Around with Jim Viebrock.
In this video blog series I travel all around the country re-visiting the old mills that I have photographed for more than 30 years. These sites have interesting history and are nestled in some of the most picturesque locations in the country. I'll talk about the unique features of each structure and the use of the topography to create energy, I'll share the stories of human success and trials, how the mill operated and how each mill impacted the communities that grew alongside them. I'll talk about how these mills were used during the civil war, why they were captured or burned and by who. These fascinating locations are true survivors and their stories are worthy of telling. Come with me on a beautiful journey of folklore, history and engineering, not to mention some of the most beautiful and amazing locations.

Thanks for the great presentation! We live a few miles away and Jolly Mill is our favorite place to visit. Mom used to have grain ground there 80 years ago

Glad you enjoyed it. I love shooting these videos, I get to meet some really cool people and see some of the prettiest places in the Country

Is it public or private?

[@millin360]

It is private land owned by the "Friends of Jolly Mill" However, it is also a semi-public park, so visitors are very welcome. Once a month in the summer the mill is open and they grind corn.
