MILLS & MILLERS: MYATT & HAMILTON
HISTORIC MILLS NORTH CAROLINA - MYATT'S MILL PENNSYLVANIA - HANCE HAMILTON'S MILL Not long ago, I found a favorite place - a mill built by my 5th Great Grandfather John Myatt, Sr. Myatt's Mill is in Willow Springs, North Carolina. This beautiful site is ever-so-peaceful; I know that I am connected to this place. The current owner - Scott Champion - is the kindest young man with a heart of gold. He is captivating as he shares his knowledge of the mill and it's rich history. Tons of information can he found on the personal blog below. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "The miller was America’s first industrial inventor. He was builder, banker, businessman and host to the countryside. When highways were no wider than today’s bridle paths, the first good roads were built to the mills. Where there was a mill site, there was a nucleus for a town." Eric Sloan - The Mills of Early America -------------------------------------
