"Our mill is one of the few remaining water powered mills in the United States and possibly the only undershot wheel in the US.  Come discover our Civil War past, how we helped provide timber to build NWA, and how we've helped feed the region over the past 200 years."

The river normally has a good flow. Of all the photos that I saw that included the dam, this is one of the few that did not have the top of the dam completely covered with water.

I haven't seen an ornate cash register like this in quite a while.
