🧿 Van Winkle's Mill Site

Van Winkle's Mill Site is a historic 19th-century industrial site at 21392 Arkansas Highway 12 near Rogers, Arkansas, United States. The area, located in the hollow of Little Clifty Creek northeast of the junction of AR 12 with AR 127, includes the foundational remnants of a series of mills operated between 1850 and 1890 by Peter Van Winkle, a major figure in the lumber industry of northwestern Arkansas in the late 19th century. The site included, in addition to mill buildings, Van Winkle's residence, a blacksmith, and quarters used by the workers, which included slaves during the period before the American Civil War.
