Grinnell Mill in Yellow Springs

On Wednesday we drove over to a town called Yellow Springs. It's home to the famous Antioch College and has a fun, artsy, community atmosphere. Monte found this awesome Bed and Breakfast that was right off the beaten path. It's only been a B and B for a couple of years, but it had a crazy history before that. Grinnell Mill was built in 1812 and after a few rough decades (including a fire) before it was restored in 2006.

The basement of the Mill.

Our room. Notice the huge burned beams. Those beams are original and so are the burns, courtesy of the local volunteer fire department (they wanted to "practice" putting out fires so they intentionally set this fire and it got out of control . . . from what we were told).

The attic . . .


The awesome dogs that lived there.

The really stunning kitchen. A lot of the wood tables and shelves we custom made.

After having dinner at The Winds, Monte and I went next door to their wine store and got a bottle of Prosecco. We drank it that evening on the porch while I worked on jewelry and he read a giant hardback book about mills.
