The 26-foot steel overshot wheel was hauled to the site in sections by oxen in about 1915. A mill operated by G.W. Decker, and later by Turner, used the waters of Turners Spring to grind grain as early as 1850. The giant wheel could operate a planer, drill press, wood saws and equipment for grinding grains. When Mr. Turner dies the community of Surprise died shortly thereafter. The mill building and wooden flume are now gone, but the wheel, concrete flume by the spring outlet and the chimney of Turner's house still stand. Turner's Mill is a visitor attraction along the Eleven Point River.
