May Campout - Watkins Mill
Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site is a National Historic Landmark with a 19th-century mill and farmstead. Located near Lawson, Missouri the park also features a 100-acre lake surrounded by a 3.8-mile paved hiking/biking trail.
We will be taking a tour of the Woolen Mill and have free time to enjoy the park. During our free time we will be working on any needed signoffs or reviews that might be needed before Bartle as well as have time to play and maybe go fishing.
