Visit a working water-powered grist mill and scenic Ozark site featuring the Historic War Eagle Bridge. War Eagle Mill’s 18-foot undershot water wheel rotates when water strikes the paddles (blades) at the bottom of the wheel.

Browse the War Eagle Mill Store for crafts, baskets, Arkansas jams and jellies and stoneground whole grain meals and mixes.

HISTORY LOWELL HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Lowell was a small community originally known as Bloomington. It was located along Old Wire Road where the Butterfield Stagecoach stopped. Bloomington was known as “Mudtown” by many early travelers due to their wagons getting stuck in the muck and having to be pulled out. In the Spring of 1881, the community of Bloomington moved a short distance west to be along the new railroad. This new town was officially named Lowell. The nickname “Mudtown” has stuck with the community ever since. Conveniently located in Downtown Lowell, the Lowell Historical Museum (LHM) features memorabilia, antiques and photos from the city’s colorful past. The LHM is comprised of a dedicated staff of volunteers committed to educating the populace about the rich history of the city. The museum takes you on an adventure back in time to show what life was like in this wonderful town from the Civil War era to present. Museum hours vary. Located at 304 Jackson Pl. in Lowell.
