Turner Mill All that is left of Turner Mill is the 25-foot metal wheel that once transferred power from the spring pouring out of a small cave to the mill's machinery. Located on the edge of the Irish Wilderness in the Mark Twain National Forest, the giant wheel should be on the bucket list of any modern-day Ozarks explorer. A Forest Service picnic area is located nearby, with a trail that leads to the wheel. Directions to this site are not in the book. From Highway 19, take Forest Road 3152 for 6 miles, then take Forest Road 3190 for another 3 miles. It can also be reached at mile 22.3 on the Eleven Point River. Wommack Mill Unlike many Ozark mills, Wommack Mill is easy to access with its location near downtown Fair Grove. The stone-burr grist mill was built in 1883 and was powered by steam. Thanks to the efforts of the Fair Grove Historical and Preservation Society, the mill was restored and now serves as the focal point for the town's annual Fall Festival set for Sept. 25-26, along with many weddings, reunions and other local events. 26 RURAL MISSOURI | MAY 2021 May21_Mills.indd 6 4/7/21 11:01 AM
