Name/Title
Garrison Webb Grist Mill (Reconstructed)Description
In the 1760s, a group of settlers formed the Little York community around Steele Creek creating a need for services a community requires. The mill was located near the first sanctuary of Unity Presbyterian Church, a log structure built in 1788. This small collection of homes and other structures was named “Little York". One of the first needs was a grist mill to grind the corn and wheat into meal and flour to make the bread, biscuits, cakes and cornbread that were so much a part of everyday life. Most of the settlers were farmers who grew the corn and wheat to provide food for their families, feed their livestock and possibly make a little corn whisky.
