Caldwell Grist Mill

Little information about the Caldwell gristmill exists.
The first gristmill was built in 1853 and was in operation for 9 years before it was burned down in 1862 at the same time the covered bridge was burned. Ten years later in 1872 a second gristmill as erected in its place then was sold 25 years later to a Mr. Mason.

The letter above is from the Greenbrier Historical Society. It basically states that it was okay to have the grist mill at that specific location when the dam was built, and that it would not flood anything up stream.
