Anyone planning a visit to historic Mill Springs in the near future
needs to be aware of some ongoing construction work, which could limit
access to certain areas of the park.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, has announced that
sections of the mill will be closed periodically to the public due to
restoration work.
The mill will remain open for weekend and holiday visitation.
The contracted restoration work, by Tarter Contracting of Somerset, is
expected to be completed by mid to late October.
