Cora Mill & Raccoon Falls
The Last Gallia County
Mill
Cora Mill was built in 1845. It has a natural waterfall
at the mill site, Raccoon Falls.
The mills water wheel was destroyed in a
flood.
Owners turned it into a museum at one time. - I see now it
just looks like a garage.
The bridge nearby was once a covered bridge - also
destroyed by the Raccoon creek floods.
The bridge was rebuilt and is one lane - cross over the
bridge and park on the side of the road.
Take your camera a snap some shots. No one will notice
this activity as suspicious!
This view is
the original part of the Mill. Can't tell from the front
right!
Walk over the bridge to get a closer look at the surviving
structure.
Bridge is in poor shape so please watch your step and look
out for cars.
They are replacing this bridge soon.
Drive slow and be careful
on your way out Cora Mill Road as many Amish
buggies are out and about.
Very scenic drive with old farms and red angus
cattle.
And oh, don't forget Raccoon creek and
Falls!
If anyone has any pictures of the way the mill was in 1800's
please post. I can't find any.
Small ammo can. May encounter some poison ivy!
