Cox Creek Mill

Looking for a unique art experience? Head on out to Cox Creek Mill, home of the Iron Gate! Situated on 18-acres of beautiful Brown County scenery along Salt Creek, is a studio filled with original handcrafted metal art by Brad Cox. A master welder, Cox creates one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere besides Brown County.

In fact, the studio itself is a work of art! The two-story mill was sided with board and batten poplar, with hickory, walnut, and cherry throughout the structure. The metal wheel itself is a whopping 14-feet in diameter, featuring 64 buckets and weighing over 3000 pounds. Come out to listen to the water, relax by the mill, and take a stroll through the studio! Brad will be set up at the Maple Syrup Festival with many of his metal masterpieces and more!
