The post and beam constructed home,known locally as “The Mill,” has been an instrumental part of the community since 1907 when it began as the McDowell Milling Co. In a addition to serving as a general store, movie theatre, and temporary class rooms, the current owners through the years have allowed local civic and other community organizations to hold meetings in their spacious home. With some of the original features still evident this "Old Mill" has evolved into a warm and inviting residence. Make plans to visit this historic treasure today!
