Old but not forgotten...
The south is known for it's mills, mainly textile, but this old mill produced cornmeal. Although she looks ragged and worn, plans are to restore her over the next five years.
She churned out sack fulls of cornmeal to the community, and

1831 until the 1960's

Most of the workings inside the mill are intact.
The heavy millstones (some 1,500 pounds each) and the foundation are
believed to have been built about the time of
the American Revolution.
As always, when I look back in time I am always amazed at the strength and determination
the generations before us displayed.
I become unraveled if the microwave doesn't work or even worse, the internet.
