War Eagle Mill - Rogers, Arkansas


War Eagle Mill, a historic gristmill located near the town of Rogers, is situated on the War Eagle River (a tributary of the White River). The mill was initially built (1830s) as a water-powered gristmill to process grain into flour and cornmeal for the local community. It was named after the War Eagle, a nearby creek known for its abundant population of bald eagles!

Over the years, the mill became a central gathering place for the local community. The original mill building was destroyed during the Civil War, but was quickly rebuilt and has undergone several renovations and improvements over time (while maintaining its historic charm).


Today, it stands as a testament to the region's rich agricultural heritage. The mill is surrounded by picturesque scenery, with the War Eagle River flowing nearby and the Ozark Mountains providing a beautiful backdrop. It has become a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors who are interested in history, traditional milling techniques, and the beautiful landscapes to enjoy.
