Overview

Raines Mill was built in 1914 and was owned by Reverend Luther Henry Raines. (April, 20, 1887 – April, 1, 1970.) The mill is a rustic 3-story structure with a 40-foot tall overshot water wheel, thought to be one of the largest overshot water wheels in the area. During the daytime the mill was used to ground corn and wheat and at night generated hydroelectric power for the nearby Long Creek Academy, which Luther Raines was principal and preacher of.

Due to the ongoing restoration of Raines Mill, please use caution when visiting.
