Description


Bear's Mill

Bear's Mill is a historic gristmill near the city of Greenville in Darke County, Ohio, United States. Built in 1849, this watermill is the oldest existing industrial building in Darke County. Built by Manning Hart,[2] a local contractor,[3] the mill lies along Greenville Creek in southwestern Adams Township, midway between Greenville and the village of Gettysburg.[4] It was purchased before its completion by Pennsylvanian Gabriel Bair, who completed and opened the mill in 1849. After his locally made millstones proved faulty, Bear travelled to France, where he acquired stones of a type regarded worldwide as of highest quality.[2]
