COLLIER'S MILL
150 ft. down stream, on the right bank of
Tanyard Branch, stood an ante-bellum grist
mill built & operated by Andrew J. Collier,
pioneer resident of this area. (1827-1887).
A notable landmark at the time of the Battle
of Peachtree Creek - July 20, 1864.
It stood, not only at the center of Federal
troop alignment along Collier Rd., but was
the storm-center of the conflict that raged
here, since the stream valley was a strategic
approach to the Federal center toward which
the Confederate forces (Walthall's & Loring's
divisions of Stewart's Corps) made their
heaviest attacks.
