Jolly Mill was built on Capps Creek at Jollification, Berwick Township, Newton County, Missouri, United States in 1848 by Thomas Isbell and his son John to serve as a whiskey distillery. Jolly Mill was named for the local Jolly family.[2] The mill also served as a grist mill, and continued to operate in that capacity until 1975.[3] Due to the flood in late December 2015, the park was heavily damaged.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
