Aderholdt's Mill was built about 1839 near Jacksonville, Alabama, United States. The 2+1⁄2-story brick mill is built in a hillside, originally with an overshot millwheel, replaced by an undershot turbine about 1936. It was built by Thomas Crutchfield for Thomas Riley Williams on an offshoot of Little Tallasseehatchie Creek for $2000, replacing a mill that had burned. It was sold in 1853 to James A. Stevenson. After a series of transactions the mill was purchased by James E. Aderholdt, who operated it with the new turbine until 1976. The mill and its machinery remain intact. ^[2]

Aderholdt's Mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 1988. ^[1]
