Old Mill of Guilford

The Guilford Mill was built in roughly 1767 not far from Greensboro, North Carolina. Local legend holds that British troops seized the mill during the Revolutionary War. It is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places and continues in operation today. Stone-ground corn, wheat, and other grains can be purchased in a shop inside the mill.

    It's good to see that the old mill is still in business Sue. There's a town in England named Guildford (note the D). I wonder if that is significant?

    It's good that mills are still around, we don't have here of course but they are a good reminder of history.
