    Summary: 
    Lidke Park is located on the Upper Iowa River, just outside the town of Lime Springs. The river, nominated as one of the nation's first Wild and Scenic Rivers, is a wonderful backdrop for Lidke Park. From here, popular canoe trips begin along the Iowa River, Lidtke Mill Enterance - Lime Springs, Iowa where towering limestone bluffs and rock spires line the waterway. Located in northeast Iowa, Lidke Park and Lime Springs are just a few miles from the Minnesota border. A short walk from the park leads to Lidke Mill Historic Site. The old mill, built in 1857 by Melvin Marsh, was initially built to mill flour. The mill machinery, driven by a water wheel, also cut lumber at one time. Later the mill facility was reopened and converted to a power plant, producing electricity for the town. Closed during the mid 1900s with its original equipment intact, the authentic mill complex is one of the few remaining water-powered mills in Iowa. ---Lidtke Facebook
    Lidtke Mill, also known as the Lime Springs Mill Complex, is a historic building located on the Upper Iowa River located in the "Old Town" area of Lime Springs, Iowa, United States. It is part of the 10 acres (4.0 ha) Lidtke Park. The mill is an L-shaped structure is composed of limestone covered with a yellow brick veneer. The main section was completed in 1857 and rebuilt after a fire in 1894. At one time, it not only milled grains but also provided hydroelectric power to surrounding communities. The footprints of a worker nearly electrocuted there can still be seen in the floor of the control room. The miller's house is a frame structure that follows a rectangular plan. The original section of the building was built in 1857. Wings on the west and east sides were added around 1880. The cement block section on the north side was added in 1927. The mill complex is now open as a museum. From time to time, events such as the Buckwheat Festival are held at the site. The mill and the miller's house were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. ---From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
