August 6, 1933

The Old Mill in North Little Rock (Pulaski County) was dedicated. Famous for its appearance in the opening credits of the 1939 classic movie, Gone with the Wind, the Old Mill contains the work of noted Mexican sculptor Dionicio Rodriguez, who perfected the folk art style known as faux bois (fake wood) by crafting reinforced concrete to resemble petrified logs.
