Saving Rock Mill is a documentary that recounts the over ten year effort to restore a 200 year old grist mill in the upper falls of the Hocking River. The Fairfield Country Park District led the restoration campaign involving professionals and volunteers alike. Rock Mill is located in Stebelton Park. This documentary was recognized by the Columbus Landmarks Foundation in 2020 with its inaugural Ed Lentz Prize which “best documents, evokes, interprets, analyzes or captures the importance of place, and its preservation”.
