The DUNGAN - ST. JOHN MILL was built in 1778 by jeremiah Dungan on property purchased from the Watauga Association.

The mill has been operated by the St. John family since that time. In 1996, during Tennessee's Bicentennial celebration, the mill was honored as the state's oldest business, with more than 200 years of continuous operation. It is located northeast of Johnson City Tennessee on Watauga Road.
