Located off of Interstate 85 North on Rock Creek Dairy Road (SR 3506).

From what I can determine, this has also been a grist mill at one time. With the availability of water power for the mill, during the Civil War, it was pressed into service for the manufacture of arms and supplies for the Confederacy.
