About
Dillard Mill State Historic Site preserves one of Missouri's finest examples of a water-powered gristmill, completed in 1908 on Huzzah Creek in Crawford County. The site offers a limited day-use area with a small picnic shelter available for reservation, featuring picnic tables and barbecue grills. Two accessible restrooms serve the area. Visitors can enjoy a 1.5-mile hiking trail that winds through oak-hickory forest and pine uplands east of the mill, as well as fishing access along Huzzah Creek. Guided mill tours are offered year-round, with schedules varying by season. The grounds are open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. May through October, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. November through April. This is strictly a day-use facility. There is no overnight camping, RV sites, or lodging available at Dillard Mill State Historic Site. The picnic shelter can be reserved for day-use gatherings only.
