Description
I like the abstract nature of the lines and curves of the old gears in the grist mill.
Mingus Mill is located in the Smoky Mountains just off of U.S. highway 441. If you take a short stroll from the parking area, and cross over Mingus Creek you can get to where the mill sits. Mill is a large building, powered by the water that rushes into the "millrace" from a diversion upstream. The path leads all the way to where this diversion occurs. As you walk up the millrace you'll notice how the wooden planks that makeup the siding have remained firmly in place over the years, the mill was built in 1886. The National Park service rehabilitated the mill in 1968.
You can stop in the mill house to chat with a "miller", and purchase cornmeal or flour.
