This is the main mill house... It built originally in the late 1830's and was called Pemberton mill. The mill was damaged by floods and was rebuilt in the early 1840's. The Mill was primarily a saw mill that used water power. During the Civil War however, a lot of food was produced by the mill to feed troops. In the 1880's the mill was purchased by J.C. Hulston and a new bigger building was built and the name was changed the Hulston Mill.
Here are some pictures of secondary buildings. They were actually part of a village that grew around the mill. The village included a post office, pharmacy, mercantile, a stable, and many other services. This area is now used for family entertainment which includes tours of the mill, stories about the mill, and families are even allowed to camp out on the property.
