WHITE'S MILL

The Athens area is blessed with many talented artists and at White's Mill we try to carry as much local produced items as our store can hold. Carmen's Pottery, Cracked Thumb Pottery, Wooden Toys, Jim Weaver Paintings, Space Cadet Soap, Sticky Pete's Maple Syrup, and so much more... In 1809 Joseph Herrold built a mill on the banks of the Hocking River in Athens, OH. In 1912 the mill was purchased by the White family. Unfortunately the mill burned to the ground in 1913. Edgar White then purchased the Nathaniel Vale mill in near bye Dyesville (Meigs County)OH. The timbers were marked and the mill disassembled, put on barges that were pulled by oxen and brought to Athens where it was reassembled and added onto and where it still stands as White's Mill. Along the way the dam washed out, folks started buying store bought and change was needed.
