Breneman-Turner Mill Open House

The Breneman-Turner Mill has Open House hours the 4th Saturday of the month from May through October. Corn-grinding demonstrations and tours run from 10 AM to 3 PM. A donation of $5 per person is suggested.

This historic landmark was built ca. 1800 on Linville Creek by Abraham Breneman. Due to its essential role in grinding grain into flour, hominy, and feed for cattle, the water-powered mill served as a center for community life during pioneer days. The mill’s most recent owner, J. Howard Turner, operated and maintained the mill from 1933 to 1988. He envisioned it as a place where future generations could learn about milling and see the process, and we invite you to join us in carrying out his vision.
