Abstract:

A once typical site in every community, only three grist mills survive in the mountain regions of North Carolina. They include Francis Mill in Waynesville, Carolina Ground in Hendersonville and Mingus Mill in the Great Smoky National Park near Cherokee. Mingus and Francis Mills were initiated in the 1880s. Carolina Ground is a modern mill that relies essentially on the same technology employed by Mingus and Francis.
