Description


Big Otter Mill

Big Otter Mill, also known as Forbes Mill, is a historic grist mill located near Bedford, Bedford County, Virginia. It was built about 1920, and is a large, 2 1/2-story, mortise-and-tenon framed mill building, topped by an unusual and picturesque mansard roof. The mill retains a nearly complete set of early-20th century machinery, including a 13 feet in diameter water wheel, which was used until the late 1940s. Also on the property are a contributing mill race and foundation of a store. The building is under restoration as a mill museum.
