Description
Mingus Mill is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The construction of the wooden mill flume is amazing with similar sized pieces of logs criss-crossed to form piers to support the flume trough.
Mingus Mill was built in 1886 by the millwright Sion Thomas Early of Sevier County, Tennessee. Early did the work for John Mingus, a son of John Jacob Mingus. Early completed the mill in three months for a cost of $600. The mill operated at wholesale and retail levels until the National Park Service purchased the property in 1934. The mill was restored in 1937, closed during World War II, and reopened in 1968.
