Adams Mills is a small unincorporated community in northeastern Cass Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, United States.〔http://ohio.hometownlocator.com/oh/muskingum/adams-mills.cfm〕 It is located on State Route 16 four miles northeast of Dresden. Little more than a grocery stop in the early 20th century, this mostly residential community grew up around the Adams Brothers flouring mill in the 1830s. 〔 http://www.gwacenter.org The G. W. Adams Educational Center, Inc. 〕 == History == The village of Adams Mills was settled by employees of the George Willison Adams and Edward Adams Flour Mill which was built on the Ohio and Erie Canal locks at this place. The mill itself was moved in the early 20th century to the nearby town of Dresden, where it was used as a feed mill until it burnt down on February 12, 2009. At some point in the 1840s George and Edward Adams purchased the land around their mill and gave it, free of charge, to their employees to build housing. Although Adams Mills is unincorporated, it used to have a post office from 1944 to 1990. The postmaster for all 46 years was G.H. Billman. It is still there and is being used as a home. Across the railroad tracks is a small unincorporated community called Preston. It had its own school which is still standing and being used as a home. There are only 15 homes located there today. Along State Route 16 is Munro Basin, which, in the canal days, was used as a place where canal boats could rest or turn around. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adams Mills, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
