Alley Springs Mill

 

 

Alley Spring is an unincorporated community in Shannon County, Missouri. Alley Spring the 7th largest spring in Missouri with a discharge of 81 million gallons per day. The scenic Alley Mill, or “Old Red Mill” is located there on a spring and is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. It was built in 1893, and is a 2 1/2-story, rectangular frame building on a limestone block foundation. It measures 32 feet by 42 feet and houses four steel rollers and a single stone burr. The Mill is operated as an Ozarks history museum. Nearby a one room schoolhouse and general store add to the feeling of the restored historic hamlet. It once had a post office, but it is now closed and mail now comes from Eminence. The community is named after John Alley, a miller. It was originally named Mammoth Spring and later Barksdale Spring. These names were deemed too long by the Post Office Department of the time, so the village was renamed after a prominent local citizen, John Alley. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
