Arkansas: The Old Mill

The Old Mill

The family and I recently visited the Old Mill in North Little Rock. I have no idea why we have never been before now! I had always heard it was a beautiful place, but beautiful just doesn't do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking. Every corner is a photo opportunity: little wonder why it is a favorite location for photographers. While we were there, we saw several brides having a photo shoot. 



Just as soon as you enter the gates, you are greeted with a picturesque scene.

Though the Old Mill looks as if it is centuries old, it was actually build in 1933. The building, along with its many bridges, features, and seating,  is made from concrete: a technique called faux bois. It is truly a unique place.









The Old Mill also has many beautiful water features.





You will find many unique bridges around the area.














What a spectacular bridge!
This small footbridge is one of my favorites. I love how it appears to have grown naturally.










In addition to the larger bridges,
there are also a few smaller ones.
 Every corner you turn reveals new surprises!




Every nook and cranny is bursting with greenery.




Added for your pleasure, faux bois mushrooms are scattered throughout the area.
