Marker Text:
This mill, started in 1833 by Andrew Smith, was continued by his descendants, the Morrison family, until 1984. The flint mill stones, imported from France, have been grinding corn since 1859. The town named Liberty by Scotch pioneers who settled here around 1816 was later renamed Burnt Prairie.
