The Battle of Mill Springs

The park service maintains this historic mill which gave it's name to a Civil War battle. The Confederate general had established his headquarters in a home on top the hill above the mill on the south side of the Cumberland River. He attacked the Union forces on the north side of the river and lost the battle and his life there. Today Lake Cumberland divides the Mill and headquarters home from the area of the battle. These are some pictures I took of the mill recently.
