Dawt Mill

Dawt Mill

Dawt Mill Resort was the last operating Grist Mill in Ozark County. Built in 1897, like Rockbridge, Dawt once was a town with a blacksmith shop, store, church and hotel. Dawt Mill has become a fulltime resort with Cabin and Hotel style lodging, three restaurants and a concert venue not to mention legendary float trips.  

Dawt Mill is located two miles northeast of Tecumseh, about a mile off Route PP. The first mill was built on the site in 1892, but later burned. The present mill was built in 1909 by Alva Hodgson.

Following several owners through the years, Dr. and Mrs. Edward Henegar purchased the mill in 1995 and began a major restoration and renovation of the surrounding property. A conference center/lodge was built, along with a restaurant and deli, and the old general store was restored. Lodging, camping, picnic sites, and canoe and tube rentals are available, and various special outdoor entertainment events are held during the warmer months.

This is the only mill still grinding flour and meal with burhstones. Baked goods using the fresh-ground grains can be purchased in the mill’s bakery. Handcrafted items also are available at the mill’s gift shop.
