The historic Bridgeton, Indiana mill began its life in 1823 as a local sawmill. Since that time both the mill and the covered bridge its associated with have burned down and been rebuilt, the mill more than once. The mill has also gone through a variety of transformations, transitioning to a grist mill at one point, and a distillery, and eventually a feed mill for the local agricultural economy. Today it largely caters to tourists, serving as a restaurant, the oldest operating mill in Indiana, and a museum.
