The Pyeatte Mill Site is a roadside park encompassing the remains of a historic early 20th-century mill facility on Arkansas Highway 45 in Canehill, Arkansas. The principal surviving features are a large stone foundation wall and a massive steel wheel 36 feet (11 m) in diameter. These are all that remain of what was once Canehill's leading 19th-century industrial facility, which had its origins in the 1830s. It operated at this site from 1902 into the 1920s.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
