In 1767, Daniel Dillon built the mill in North Carolina on Beaver Creek. It is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is located off of Highway 68 North

Some history on this mill is that during the revolutionary war, British troops seized the mill to grind grain for thier soliders in 1781.

This mill is still in operation today, and still selling products. You can find the whole history and buy products from the mill's website here at http://www.oldmillofguilford.com.
