The Cave Mill

THE CAVE MILL   Operated at this site for more than a century by an undershot water wheel, the last cave mill burned in 1915.  Located first inside the cave entrance, the mill was moved to the Nashville road level in 1874.  To power this mill the drive shaft was extended through a hole made in the cave ceiling.  Historically utilized for milling grain, wool carding, and lumber sawing, the 1874 mill building also housed a large brandy and whiskey distillery.   Donated by South Central Bank   Submitted by Bryan Arnold  @nanowhiskers
