The Readyville Mill was a historic mill located in Readyville, Tennessee, located in Cannon County, near the border of Rutherford County.
The original water-powered grist mill was constructed by the community founder Colonel Charles Ready in 1812. Ownership of the mill remained in the family until it burned down during the American Civil War for unknown reasons. Robert Carter rebuilt the current mill in the 1870s and acquired full ownership of it in 1884. After being engaged in several different trades for several different owners, the mill closed in 1978. In 2009, the mill was reopened after a three-year renovation as a privately owned restaurant. The grounds consisted of five newly restored buildings: The Grist Mill, Granary, Icehouse, Miller's Cabin, and Smokehouse. [2] In February 2023, the restaurant and mill were once again closed after several recent changes of management and ownership.
The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 12, 1973 [3] and featured on an episode of Tennessee Crossroads in 2015. [4]
The mill building and grounds were destroyed by an EF2 tornado around 1:55 a.m. on April 1, 2023. [5] [6] [7] The debris was cleared in early 2024 so that construction could begin on a new general store in the former location. [8]
Carrier Mills, formerly Carrier's Mills and Morrilsville, also known as Catskin, is a village in Saline County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,672 at the 2020 census. Carrier Mills was named after George Washington Carrier's saw and grist mills, and was one of the early Cairo and Vincennes Railroad boomtowns. Founded as a mill town and then a coal mining community, Carrier Mills has slowly lost 44% of its population since the 1920 census high of 3,000, due to the decline of the local coal industry. The village has primarily become a bedroom community, located seven miles (11 km) southwest of Harrisburg, which is the village's main source of employment, entertainment, and shopping. It is the third largest community in the Harrisburg Micropolitan Statistical Area outside of Eldorado and Harrisburg, and included in the Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky Tri-State Area. Carrier Mills also has a large African American population at 15%, compared to its neighbors, due to migration from the nearby community of Lakeview, the oldest African American settlement in the state of Illinois.

The hotel has been converted to a residence hall. The retail space consisted of dozens of small shops and restaurants, and there were large areas of historic exhibits on such areas as the local Quaker industry and history of radio in Akron, while offices were on the floors above. Quaker Square was open to the general public until September 18, 2015.
