Description


The Mill was built in 1869 and moved to the park in 1965. Stone Mountain is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock in Stone Mountain, Georgia. At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet. Stone Mountain granite extends underground 9 miles at its longest point into Gwinnett County. Numerous reference books and Georgia literature have dubbed Stone Mountain as “the largest exposed piece of granite in the world". This misnomer is most likely a result of advertisement by granite companies and early park administration. In actuality, there are larger exposed granite landscapes throughout the world including the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. Stone Mountain, though often called a pink granite dome, is actually a quartz monzonite rock when described in geologic terms and is therefore not technically granite. Stone Mountain is well-known not only for its geology, but also for the enormous bas-relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief in the world. Three figures of the Confederate States of America are carved there: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. I am heading off here in a few minutes to Virginia to find two different mills in the area, and enjoy a day out in the autumn weather, a high of 65 degrees is expected for today, my type of weather. I wish you all a great day. Thanks for your support and interest, I really appreciate you all. thumb_1959572.jpg

Thank you for this excellent picture not of a old barn! -but a old mill which is just as good. The large format was generous. I am sure you will get much presents for christmas this year as you have been a very very nice girl.
