Boone's Mill

Squire Boone, Daniel Boone's brother, built a mill in 1804.
It was in operation until 1852. During the years, the mill
burnt twice but was always rebuilt. The Mill is nationally
recognized as one of the foremost working grist mills in
America. The 18', 3 ton overshot waterwheel and the 150'
long raceway are among the largest in America.








These stones were carved by Squire Boone in 1809 in the
foundation of his mill.
