Carillon Park in Kettering, south of Dayton, house...

Carillon Park in Kettering, south of Dayton, houses exquisitely preserved historical buildings. Among these historic structures is a replica gristmill.

An exterior wooden waterwheel is turned by water pumped up to the flume to emulate a functioning wheel. Inside the mill building there is a display of wooden gears and a set of millstones. The display is based on the mill equipment found in the Staley Mill in Miami County.

The mill building is the residence of Carillon Park's site manager. A visit to the mill display will provide you with an exciting opportunity to see a preserved covered bridge constructed with a rare Warren truss that spans the old Miami & Erie Canal. Carillon Park also offers antique trains, an old school house and many authentic historic structures.
