In summer, tourists visit Mill Springs and see the giant mill wheel beside Lake Cumberland. Before its May opening date, however, travelers can still get a feel for the past at the historic restored Brown-Lanier house next door. In the Civil War it was used as both military headquarters and hospital. In late 1861 and early 1862, Union and Confederate armies occupied this area as they vied for control of Kentucky.
