Jasper City Mill, Jasper Indiana, Dubois County
Working Grist Mill with 24' Wooden Water Wheel on the Patoka River in Jasper, Indiana. Visitor Center, Country Store, ground cornmeal, Products made by Indiana artistians. Historical Photographs & Plaques, Power House with Driveshaft, Pulleys & Belts, Functioning Mill Stones with Hopper and Hook & Crane. Jasper City Mill is a new mill and was completed in 2009. The new mill is the third mill at this location.
Andrew Evans built the first mill here on the Patoka River in Jasper, Indiana in 1817. Andrew Evans came here from Scott County, Kentucky. Here in Jasper, he built a gristmill. It had one level and an undershot water wheel.
The Enlow family, Joseph and Elander Enlow, purchased the mill and property. The Enlows built their home next to their mill. Their mill was very successful starting in the 1820s.
Francis Eckert from Pfaffenweiler, Germany came to Jasper and purchased the Enlows Mill in 1847. He ran the mill until about 1865 when he built a new three-story grist and flour mill. Francis left his mill to his three sons, Conrad, Jacob and Andrew in 1871. The Eckert Brothers increased the business and shipped flatboats full of barrels of flour down the Ohio and Mississippi River and ultimatley, to New Orleans.
It was in 1879 That the Eckert's started shipping their barrels of flour by train.
By 1883 the Eckert's replaced their mill stones with roller mills. With their new roller milling equipment they were producting 150 to 200 barrels of flour a day.
By 1910, the youngest borther, Andrew Eckert had obtaining sole ownership of the mill. The mill continued making flour until 1930 when the mill closed.
The mill set silent until 1964 when a devastating flood consumed the town and destroyed the foundation of the mill. A few months later the mill was raised. Susequently, the mill property became a city park.
The current, new Jasper City Mill was opened in 2009 with two millers, Ron Brosmer and Randi Schroeder.
Today, June 2012, Jasper City Mill has a striking mill building. Made of poplar, the massive stairs wind around the interior of the three floors. They built the structure with 874 wooden nails and the interior is spectacular. When you come into the mill you will discover the drive shaft that comes directly from the 24' wooden water wheel. The driveshaft is very large carrying pulleys and belts to power the mill stones. They grind corn and sell the cornmeal at their Country Store inside the mill. The mill stone area is elevated from the first floor level. You can see the mill stones, mill stone case, hook & crane and hopper. The miller will show you how the corn is placed into the hopper and then grinds the grain through the mill stones and the cornmeal drops down into a box to be bagged and sold.
The exterior of the mill shows a 24' wooden water wheel that powers gears and moves the enegy into the driveshaft. The wheel has a delightful deck area that you can walk around and visually enjoy the water wheel as it is spinning and clamoring. It is fascinating to see and to listen! I like the tactile experience of getting the water spray, the large movement of the wheel and the energy driven into the power house. Jasper City Mill is a fabulous experience for everyone !
The exterior also allows visitors to view the Patoka River and the dam which is right next to the Third Avenue Bridge.

Sh*t that People from Dubois County Say
This is a love letter to my home town. I wish it was a little meaner, but I think you get the point. Any use of the word gay or any slander is used ironically because the people who live there are not very creative when it comes to insults. Not meant to offend.

Inside the Geode Grotto of Jasper Indiana #geodegrotto
While driving through Indiana, we decided to stop at the Geode Grotto and check it out. We take you on a tour of the grotto and check out the artwork and markings throughout the space.
About the Geodge Grotto:
Constructed over ten years on the site of a former handball court on the grounds of the Providence Home, the Geode Grotto was the idea of Father Phillip Ottavi, an Italian immigrant who was inspired by religious grottoes in Europe. As a child he was orphaned by the Messina earthquake, which killed 100,000 or more people in Italy in 1908, which led to his involvement with the Order of the Sons of Divine Providence who are dedicated to helping the less fortunate.
The style of the grotto was intended to imitate the famous grotto at Lourdes, but as one builder put it, there were “No blueprints, just inspiration.” The result covers four city blocks in fountains, planters, cave-like openings and gardens. It was built between 1960-1970 under the guidance of Father Ottavi with the help of residents and coworkers from the home. One worker tells the story about Ottavi’s passion - one day he fell from a platform while working on the main grotto, the Mother of God Shrine, but he was back the next day continuing to work.
There are two major shrines: the Mother of God Shrine on the south end, and the St. Joseph Shrine in the north. The entrance is through Mother of God Shrine, just north of the Providence Home on Bartley Street.
How to get to the Grotto:
From I-64, head North on US 231 for 14.3 miles. 231 twists a bit through Jasper. Turn left at Bartley Street. The grotto lies along this street between 9th & 13th.

1860s Grist Mill house
Found this gem after filming another location. Pretty overgrown and decrepit, was last occupied in 2001. The outbuildings appear to be a small barn, chicken coop and storage. There is a large bathroom, large for such a small house, probably added on. Comments welcome but please keep it clean. Enjoy!!
