Rex Mill

This area was built between 1825 and 1849. The historic grist mill sits along the banks of the Big Cotton Indian Creek. In the 30's and 40's farmers brought their grain from as far away as Lakewood Heights (Southeast Atlanta) via horse pulled carriages to be processed here.

Today, all that is left is a few boarded up shops, a one way bridge and the cotton gin and mill (which is a dim memory of its former glory). As of 2011, Rex Mill is on the Georgia Trust's Places in Peril. On the National Registry of Historic Places since 1979.
