The Old Mill Historic Guided Tours
Step into the past and learn more about our remarkable gristmill. Established in 1830, it proudly claims the title of the continuously-running gristmill in the country.
As you wander through its storied halls, you'll uncover a treasure trove of history that has earned it a well-deserved spot on the National Register of Historic Places. And guess what? It's also a notable stop along the Tennessee Civil War Trail, making it an even more remarkable destination.
Our knowledgeable tour guide, Emmitt, has a deep connection to the mill, spanning over 50 years. From his childhood spent playing in the millpond to his teenage years as a miller's assistant, Emmitt shares captivating stories, intriguing rumors, and a wealth of factual information about the mill's continuous operation for nearly two centuries.
Guests of all ages will find this tour engaging and suitable for the whole family.
