Clifton Mill





Built in 1802:

    The nation's largest water powered grist mill still in existence. Originally called Davis Mill by it's founder Owen Davis. Built in this location to take advantage of the natural power of the concentrated water funneled into the gorge. The Little Miami river that powers the Clifton Mill today, once powered 5 other mills that were built within a mile of the Clifton Mill. The Clifton Mill is the only one still standing.

    At one time there were approximately 100,000 mills in this country. Now there are less than 100 still in their original operating condition.
One of the early owners was John Patterson, who helped create Dayton's NCR company.

    The Clifton Mill, as well as the other mills in the village, played a part in the Civil War. The Clifton Mill provided corn meal for federal troops from this part of Ohio, while the linen mill provided cloth for uniforms.

    The Satariano family purchased the mill to help preserve such a historical and beautiful piece of property.

Christmas Lighting


    A holiday tradition here in the Miami Valley for over 10 years. The light display is one of the country's finest with over 3.2 million lights illuminating the mill, the gorge, and grounds to create a winter wonderland.
