Stockport Mill in Stockport, Ohio

Cruising around in our Honda S2000 July 4th weekend and on our way to Athens, Ohio.  Stockport was a stop on our way.  If anyone gets a chance to visit Stockport which is a very small town.  You need to stop at the Stockport Inn and restaurant.  Lots of history about this famous place.  We met some motorcycle people as we were standing and reading the signs about the Stockport Mill. They told us about a famous route that bikers enjoy riding down called Rt. 555.   Highway 555, the Triple Nickel. The bikers continued talking tell us that this route is Ohio's Tail of the Dragon.    State route 555 is a 62.36-mile-long country road that goes through 4 counties.

14 guest rooms are distinctive, and all offer private balconies overlooking the beautiful Muskingum River. A dining terrace wraps around the Mill's first floor restaurant.

The historic Stockport Mill is the last remaining mill on the Muskingum River. And now it's a one-of-a-kind inn and restaurant.

A mill has operated on this site since 1842. Construction began on the current structure in 1906. Its milling equipment was operated by electricity generated by turbines harnessing the power of the Muskingum River.

Located across from the Stockport Mill there is a lock that channels boats, as boats cannot go over the dam.
