From the
Dollywood website:
"Dollywood's Grist Mill was built in 1982, the first fully operating grist mill built in the state of Tennessee in more than 100 years. Workers constructed the grist mill exactly as it would have been more than a century ago when folks in the Smoky Mountains relied on the giant water wheel to grind corn and wheat. Today, the aroma of our famous cinnamon bread lures you in, but it’s the wide variety of gourmet mixes, cookbooks and kitchen décor that makes you linger. Stone-ground meal prepared on the spot is available for purchase too."
Visit Instructions:
