Apparently I have been to Spring Hill State Park when I was younger. I did not remember it though and was not sure what to expect. This beautiful pioneer village was a pleasant surprise! Several of the buildings had heritage interpreters to show you what life would have been like in the 1800’s. She was wonderful with all of my kids crazy questions. We got to show the girls how a mill works.

Hopefully this lesson sticks with them more than if we had just read about it in a book.

Grinding the corn was Little Bit’s favorite. The have a museum on the upper floors of the mill! Checking out the wheel from up above. There was so much to explore!

What a great stop!

Be sure to check this place out if you live in central Indiana!

I included a quick look into our visit there in this video.
