Abstract:

Simon Dixon moved from Pennsylvania to Alamance County and constructed a mill on Cane Creek. The 1751 still operated in the 1930s and was reportedly the state's oldest operational mill. Folk tales about buried treasure near the mill brought thrill seekers and prospectors in search of silver and gold.
