The Spring Mill is an historic industrial property on Arkansas Highway 69, 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of Batesville, Arkansas. It is a wood frame structure with a gambrel roof and clapboard siding, set in a stone foundation at the eastern end of its mill pond, with a concrete-reinforced stone dam extending further to the north. The dam was built in 1867, replacing an earlier log dam, and the building was built about 1869. It is the only known operable grist mill from the period in the state.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
