 Guided Tours of the Historic Old Mill

 

Let us take you back to 1830 on a guided tour of our Historic Old Mill. Still operating today, very much as it did in 1830, our gristmill is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places and is also a stop on the Tennessee Civil War Trail. 

Our tour guide, Emmitt, has been around the mill for more than 50 years, having played in the millpond as a kid and then became a miller’s assistant as a teenager. He regales visitors with stories, rumors, and quite a few facts, about how the mill has been in continuous operation since it opened almost 200 years ago. This is a family-friendly tour that guests of all ages will enjoy!
