Pickwick Mill, Minnesota

Pickwick Mill is in southeastern Minnesota in the tiny village of Pickwick, about 15 minutes south of Winona. It can be found by following the signs off Highways 14 & 61, for about two miles on County Road 7.

The operating stone mill is situated beside the very picturesque Lake LaBelle which offers trout fishing and a picnic site. For a small fee you can tour the mill where you will find 6 floors of original machinery, a 4' by 20' waterwheel, and operating millstones. There is also a gift shop.

Just below the mill is a small waterfall which is worth seeing while you are there.
