SC Grist Mills

According to The Society for the Preservation of Old Mills, "grist mill" is a term used to describe a mill that grinds any type of grain, including corn. In South Carolina, these mills were often strategically placed along a creek or river, allowing them to be waterpowered. The following are all grist mills that operate, or used to operate, in our state.
