The Old Mill (Pugh's Old Mill) water-powered grist mill replica and urban park located in the Lakewood neighborhood of North Little Rock, Arkansas. The mill is famous as it appeared in the opening shot of the movie Gone With the Wind. The mill was constructed in 1933 by Justin Matthews, and is intended as an homage to all the dilapidated mills in the state and not any mill in particular. The individual pieces of concrete that form the mill and adjacent bridge were manufactured by Mexico City sculptor Dionico Rodriguez. In 1991 Rodriguez's great-nephew Carlos Cortes made repairs to the Old Mill.
The mill is on the National Register of Historic Places. Admission to the mill and park is free.
