Another possible resource is the Society for the Preservation of Old Mills (they have extensive lists, including NC mills and mill sites). You can find all these via Google.

I've been hunting mills for a couple years now and they, along with covered bridges and lighthouses, are structures I always search out to try to photograph.

Quite extraordinary - my friend Stephen bought it years ago and has fully-restored it to working order - water powered cider mill, blacksmith shop, and saw mill....with a big 56" working saw!

Instead, he frightened me so that I never learned to swim until I went to college. All your pics and writings are great & enjoyable.
