The Old Mill (also known as Pugh’s Mill) was constructed in 1933 by Justin Matthews and is a re-creation of an 1880’s water-powered grist mill. It was seen in the opening scenes of the classic movie “Gone With the Wind.” It is the only structure remaining from the 1937 film. It’s construction is mostly tinted concrete over steel and copper rods made to represent wood, stone and iron. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places back in 1986, and is maintained by the Pulaski County Master Gardeners and North Little Rock Parks and Recreation. It was also awarded the Greater Little Rock Historic Preservation Award by the Quapaw Quarters Association.
