Price's Mill, also known as Calliham’s (Callaham’s) Mill, Stone’s Mill, and Park's Mill, is a water-powered gristmill about east of the town of Parksville on South Carolina Highway 33-138 (Price's Mill Road) at Stevens Creek in McCormick County. Its name in the USGS Geographic Names Information System is Prices Mill. It was built in the 1890s and was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1972.〔 At this time, it was one of the few remaining water-powered gristmills in South Carolina. ==History== David Calliham, who was son of Nicholas Callaham and was born in Virginia, acquired land on Stevens Creek in Ninety-Six District, South Carolina around 1768. He established a gristmill on the creek. He died prior to 1784. In addition to the gristmill, a cotton gin and a flour mill have operated nearby. These have been destroyed by floods.〔 The current mill building was constructed in the 1890s.〔〔〔 Starting in 1910, R. A. Price operated the mill. He worked up to seven days per week and produced as much as of cornmeal each week. In his early work, he took a toll of the meal ground for farmers. He died in 1968. His son, John M. Price, took over the mill. By this time toll milling ceased and the mill purchased corn to grind meal. He produced around of white or yellow cornmeal in the early 1970s by operating three days a week. He marketed the cornmeal under the mill's own label in McCormick and Greenwood County retail stores. In this period, he had an employee.〔〔〔 According to a 2003 travel guide, the mill is no longer operated. 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「Price's Mill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
