Yes, you can buy flour, corn meal, grits, and others that were ground right there at the mill. It's three floors and you can climb all three for the self guided tour. The store on the ground floor has a little of everything. Food (lots of jams and jellies), coffee, homemade bread and baked goods (made in Greenville with the flour ground at the mill), home goods, jewelry, and clothing. There is also an art gallery on the first floor. Most everything on display is for sale and is made by local artists. The grounds around the mill are beautiful. There are a couple walking paths behind the mill. One leads back to a Darke County Vietnam memorial, a fun little fire pit with wood provided, and the Bear's Mill Electric Company dam and lock.

There is a super small inside gallery area. A bunch of exhibits were covered so you couldn't see them. The outside is a small village with two structures. It was cool to go in and see you those looked like. There are plaques with what is around the circle area and you can either scan the QR code to get that information or borrow one of their books to learn about it. I think that's pretty cool. I think there is massive room for improvement and making things just look nicer. I think those in charge could learn a lot from how the Great Council State Park was done. Lots of room for more hands and interactive things to keep the kids interesting in learning about our past. This could also spell more revenue from schools for Field Trips.

This mound is approximately 40 feet high, encompasses over one acre and is 574 feet in circumference. It majestically sits in the middle of a neighborhood of middle-class houses.
