Pioneers took advantage of a constant water source that never froze and used it to power several gristmills, a wool mill, a sawmill, and a distillery. The park contains a pioneer village, nature center, and the Gus Grissom Memorial to commemorate Astronaut Gus Grissom who was born in Mitchell in 1926.
