Description
The Grist Mill John Cable built in 1867 is still in operating condition today.
A grist mill was a key part of life in a rural setting like Cades Cove. In addition to milling corn and wheat into flour, the mill was also used to cut logs into lumber for construction.
This overshot mill requires a diversion of water from a fast-flowing mountain stream, through a millrace, which then drops the water onto the wheel, as seen.
Today, the Great Smoky Mountain Association works the mill from April thru October, and ground cornmeal made here is available in the gift shop for purchase.
