This old mill was built in 1757
by John Ritchardson while North Carolina was still a colony. The mill and its accompanying
earthen dam are built on part of Ritchardson's 2,472-acre plantation. The mill has been in
continuous operation for over 240 years. The present owners, Ray and Betty Wheeler, took
over operation of the mill in 1971. Today, Atkinson's Milling Co., is the only water
powered grist mill operating in a four county area. The cornmeal is stone ground and is |
|
| noted for its quality. Cattail
Milling Co., and Boddie Milling Co., are brand names added to the growing list of
Atkinson’s products. Products include: Hush puppy mix, biscuit mix, funnel cake mix,
seafood breader, and chicken breader. They are available for purchase at the mill, local
grocery stores and by mail order. |
