We've experienced a historic grist mill on the edge of the Cherokee Indian Reservation. A country store w/ fresh ground cornmeal, jams, country hams, candles and quality gifts. The 1886 roomis full of antiques, lamps, furniture's and quality smalls. The 1930 Gift Shop offers Cherokee made baskets, arts and crafts, Collectors will find Civil War, Indian Artifacts, southern pottery and more.
It's amazing, "The Old Mill" is still working
View from the inside to the spinning water wheel
You can buy all kind of nostalgic items
Coca-Cola on everything you can think about
Or, do you need some "new" refurbished chairs at home?Will you hang them also on the wall?...LOL...
That Old Millis alive in the light of day
harsh wind grabbing
your windpipe, breath of winter-chill
icicle eyes staring dimly
at the scene, leftover pussy
willows as
stiff fingers beside river's bank.
Within view an ancient mill
memories
dulled
by the passage of time.
Images of life return as a photo
album, deer
within shadows
cows flicking horse flies
kids painting the barn and
three dogs chasing.
Childhood is splashing in the
creek, pages from life
a long time ago.

Wow, what a beautiful old building! Makes me think of all those old American films set in the mountains!
My goodness, now THERE is a place you could spend all day with a camera. Wonderful images Sue.

What a beautiful old place. Love that first shot of it.
Ciao,
sono sempre molto belle e interessanti le tue foto.
Saluti dall'Italia.
This does look like an interesting place to visit. I like seeing small trinkets from the past and being reminded of my history. My only problem is keeping my money in my pockets when I visit such places!
Just back from a weekend trip to Duluth so catching up on your blog posts...loved the shots of the wheel at the Old Mill!
