Old Oxford Mill - Oxford, KS - Water Mills on Waymarking.com

The Old Oxford Mill was constructed in 1874 here on the west side of the Arkansas River. The supporting walls were built of limestone block to stand up to area flooding. A hand-dug millrace, paralleling the Arkansas River for three miles, supplied power to the four-story mill. Later, a dam was constructed to force more water through the millrace. During the Depression Era, the mill operation required more space and was moved up from the river to the street level. The old water-powered mill was used to generate power to the new mill buildings. Restoration of the mill was completed in 2000, and the mill is part of the school district's entrepreneurship program. You can read more about the mill on this web page.
