Freeman's Mill Park features a playground that replicates a gristmill, picnic pavilion, half-mile multi-purpose trail, parking, restroom facilities and the historic Freeman's gristmill. The County purchased the mill and surrounding property in 2002 with funding from the Georgia Greenspace Program and the 2005 SPLOST.In 2009, the County raised and restored the mill and its surrounding 12 acres for educational and recreational use to offer Gwinnett County citizens a sense of the agricultural past. The mill was built sometime between 1868 and 1879 by brothers John Griffin and Levi J. Loveless. By 1996, it was said to be one of only 15 mills in the state in working order and the only one in Gwinnett County. At that time is was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1913, W. Scott Freeman and his son, Winfield, owned it until it was purchased in 1915 by Newt Pharr. Winfield descendants continued to operate the mill through the 20th century. More... |
