Mill Race Inn

Mill Race Inn Where the Fox River Flows Under the Bridge at Geneva, Illinois Let us tell you something of the history of MILL RACE INN. The main, or Stone Room as we call it, was built as the village blacksmith shop in 1842. It adjoined the mill so that farmers' horses might be shod while errands were being done. The depth of the thick walls indicates the age of the building. The location was then called Herrington's Ford. Perhaps you wonder what a MILL RACE is, and why our place is so named. A mill race is that part of a stream, or river, diverted to go over the mill wheel, turning it to provide the power necessary to keep the machinery moving. The name MILL RACE INN was given 30 years ago, to this more than a century old building whose hospitality, scenery, and food are provided for your enjoyment. Pub. by Ben Smith, 214 S.
