This mill was once used for grinding corn into meal. Although it has not been in use as a business for over 40 years, visitors are able to come and see how the mill once operated. Owner Ben Roberson used to visit the mill when he was a boy and it was still in operation. He will be happy to show visitors how “really good corn bread starts out.”
The mill is located at 2710 Holly Springs Church Road in Williamston. Call 252-792-4314 to get more information and to arrange a visit.
