War Eagle Mill is a working gristmill in Benton County, Arkansas. A mill has been located on the site as early as 1832, but was destroyed three times, and last rebuilt in 1973. The mill currently operates as an undershot gristmill and houses a store and restaurant. The combination of the mill, the bridge over War Eagle Creek and the beautiful valley make this one of the most picturesque spots in the Ozarks. More at https://wareaglemill.com.
