Historic Mill Creek Admission

Overview

Have an adventure! Historic Mill Creek is a trip back to the 1830s, and so much more. Feel the power of the creek as it is harnessed to operate the water-powered sawmill. Smell the fresh sawdust as sawyers demonstrate the pitsaw method of cutting lumber. You may be lucky enough to be selected to help! Explore engaging exhibits inside the Visitor's Center and at the Millwright's House, and learn about farming in the Workshop.

While Historic Mill Creek is teeming with history, its natural history is equally fascinating. Join trained naturalists for guided nature walks, and learn about the wild side of Mill Creek during Nature of the North Woods programs. Or, go on your own through the park's three miles of groomed trails.
