Additional Details:
A Country Inn on the River's Edge, Where the Fox River flows under the bridge. Built in 1842, our thick-walled Stone Room was the Village Blacksmith Shop of the settlement called Herrington's Ford, shortly to become Geneva. Across the road the Bennett Mill was built to grind the farmers' grain while they had their horses shod and wagons mended. The mill race is that part of the river diverted to turn the mill-wheel to provide power for milling. So our Inn was named when the old building became the present Mill Race Inn almost 50 years ago and the mill race was still fast-flowing between us and Island Park. Fires still burn in the old blacksmith shop, providing our famous traditional Midwestern fare and refreshment served with pride and graciousness by our family since 1946. and on the river's edge our screened Gazebo and open decks provide serenity where you can lift your spirits.
