description Dawt Mill Overview

Dawt Mill is a historic mill complex on the North Fork River in Ozark County, Missouri. The present mill dates from the early twentieth century and used roller-milling equipment to process grain, replacing earlier milling operations at the river site. Surviving machinery and riverside buildings preserve its industrial character, while the surrounding property has also been developed for lodging, dining, fishing, and river recreation.
