  Notes	The 3038-acre Beaver Creek State Park is located at 12021 Echo Dell Road in East Liverpool, OH. The park area was established in 1945 with a gross average of a possible 20,000 acres. The nucleus of this park is Gaston's Mill, a 19th century grist mill. Thomas Whitacre built the mill in about 1837. The next owner was Philander Gaston who operated it longer than any other owner, hence the name. It operates on waterpower, is built almost entirely of wood and utilizes authentic mill stones. On weekends during the summer it grinds corn meal, whole wheat and buckwheat flour, which may be purchased at the mill. Gaston's Mill and the adjacent pioneer village especially come to life during the annual Pioneer Craft Days event held the first weekend in October. http://www.bchistory.org/beavercounty/BeaverCountyTopical/parks/StateParks/StateParksMSU90.html http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/beaverck.htm http://fpw.isoc.net/KREK/Columbiana_Gastons_Mill_Page.htm http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=31200187
