Located in the geographical center of Arkansas's northwest, Springdale is now the state's fourth largest city. A city that's embraced the 21st century with nano-technology, large scale food production, biomedical implant coatings and strategic military applications.
   Located between the cities of Fayetteville and Springdale, the small city of Johnson is home to the historic Johnson Mill. Well removed from the modern advances of the 21st century, the mill is believed to be the oldest business in Arkansas, Built in 1835, the mill was partially burnt by retreating Confederate forces after the Battle at Pea Ridge. Following the war, the mill was reconstructed in 1867. Operating for over 140 years, the mill finally ceased operations in 1978.
   Architect James Lambeth began restoration on the mill in 1991, returning the mill to working order and converting the historic building to a modern day inn. Two suites were added above the mill, as well as a wing of 30 rooms. Seen as an artful way of connecting the past and present, 19th century settlers at the Inn at the Mill would be baffled by flat screen TVs, IPod docks, mini fridges and high speed internet service. The rooms at inn vary from a mixture of plain Jane to specialty suites which follow the styles of Frank Lloyd Wright to Walt Disney, and Claude Monet to Frederick Remington.
