Built in 1873 as a thread mill and later converted to a cotton gin, then to a woodworking shop. Much of the machinery is from the Red Mill which was flooded out by Tims Ford Lake. The 32 foot overshot steel wheel is the largest operating wheel in Tennessee. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 1972. Owned and operated by SPOOM members John and Jane Lovett, with the assistance of miller William Janey. Milled
products are sold in the mill store, along with many local craft items.
The mill contains extensive textile machinery. Very PHOTOGENIC
especially in the afternoon 2:00-4:00.
There is a B&B in a building on the mill property. |
