Dellinger Grist Mill Ornament

$17.00

The Dellinger Grist Mill, located at Hawk, NC, was constructed originally by Reuben Dellinger in 1867. It was operated for 88 years by successive generations. After years of benign neglect, Jack Dellinger restored the mill in 2000 and operates it grinding cornmeal, grits, and polenta. It is currently the last water-powered/stone-ground grist mill of its kind in North Carolina. It is a working historical artifact. The second ornament in the MCHS series honors the classic mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
