Bailey's Mills Road threads through a narrow valley settled in the late 18th century.
A strong sense of history intensifies as you pass the quaint town cemetery and then the driveway curves gently past the long, long sleep of area residents.
Bailey's Mills looks very southern with a two-story porch and fluted columns.
But this patrician facade belies its commercial origins that were tied to the economic fortunes of the community that blossomed here 200 years ago.
In 1794, Levi Bailey (1766-1850) purchased a dam and a mill here.

We have two additional wooded trails and we expect you to have trouble picking a personal favorite.
Another excursion is based on the Wood's Apple Cider Jelly we set out at breakfast.
We'll gladly sell you a jar but it's best to visit the farm where it is made, about 25 minutes from Bailey's Mills.
The hill country is very rural with great views.
Nearby the Wood's Farm you can pick summer strawberries or autumn apples at Wellwood Orchard.
Then drop into Springfield for a bite at the Morningstar Cafe.
