Beckman Mill Park

Nature and history lovers will love spending an afternoon at Beckmen Mill Park. This scenic park along the Raccoon Creek offers picnic areas, water access, canoeing, a wildlife area and rich local history.

The historical highlight of the park is Beckman Mill. The fully functional restored 1926 grist mill is one of the last remaining in Rock County and has been converted to a living, working museum. Visitors to the park can tour the mill and see how it operated during the late 1920's.

There is a working dam, covered bridge, trading post, gardens and walking trails that make a wonderful backdrop for an afternoon in the park. The park grounds are open from 5am until 10pm daily, and the mill is open for tours every Saturday, April through October, or by appointment.
