Fodor's Expert Review The Old Mill and General Store

One of the most photographed structures in the country, this 185-year-old workhorse mill still grinds the flour and meal used for cooking at the nearby Old Mill Restaurant and the Old Mill Pottery House Cafe & Grille. Join millions of visitors who have purchased sacks of stone-ground products to take home as a special memory from the Smokies—not only a wide variety of flours and mixes (pancake, fish batter, etc.), but also jams, jellies, honeys, specialty foods, retro candies, and nostalgic crafts. Most of all, take time to listen to the sound of the 1830s mill grinding the grain. You might even want to try recording the sound with your smartphone as a unique no-cost souvenir.
