Historical Notes
The
Readyville
Mill
was
built
in
1812
by
Charles
Ready
, a
wealthy
landowner
who
was a
founder
of the
Readyville
community
and
lived
nearby
in his
house
, "The
Corners
". A
dam
constructed
at the
same
time
on the
East
Fork
Stones
River
provided
water
to
power
the
mill
. At the
time
of its
listing
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
in
1973
, the
mill
was in
operation
,
producing
corn
meal
and
flours
. In its
current
(2013)
form
, the
Readyville
Mill
complex
consists
of
five
restored
buildings
:
mill
,
granary
,
icehouse
,
cabin
, and
smokehouse
. The
mill
again
produces
meals
and
flours
by
utilizing
an
electric
mill
.
