The original mill was built in 1820 by James Scott, after the county court gave him permission to establish a mill on Shoal Creek. It had many owners through its history. C. H. Nicholson, who acquired it in 1851, operated it as both a water-powered sawmill and a grist mill. [2] The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1]

Both the mill and the associated dam were destroyed by a major flood on Shoal Creek in July 1998. [2] The property was later removed from the National Register. [1]
