Name/Title
Long Creek MillDescription
The Long Creek Mill was a grist mill built around 1820. Its ruin is located adjacent to Long Creek in northern Mecklenburg County, approximately 1,000 feet southeast of the intersection of Beatties Ford Road and Huntersville-Mt. Holly Road. The mill ruin consists of a stone foundation, stone walls that channeled water leaving the mill, and a remarkably intact millrace of about 1,000 feet in length. Remnants of the dam or dams are scattered along the creek, but topography would dictate that the dam, or dams, were located 320’ to 450’ due east of the mill ruin. The Long Creek Mill was the second mill built on the property.Category
