Jasper Train Depot, constructed in 2004 as a replica of the former structure built in 1906;
Jasper Riverwalk, a 2.1-mile paved path, which features a gazebo and seating along the River; and the
Jasper City Mill, the latest addition to the district, where guests can watch the workings of the waterwheel and corn meal production and browse for souvenir items available for purchase in the gift shop.
