Northern Georgia, Oconaluftee Visitor Center and Mountain Farm Museum, Sorghum Mill
A few years ago, my sister and brother-in-law moved into their retirement dream home which they built in Union County, GA just outside Blairsville. It is a small community with only 652 residents (as of the 2010 census) in town — Union County itself only has 21,566 residents or maybe two more now. This interesting contraption is a sorghum mill. The harvested sorghum plants were fed through the rollers as they were turned by a horse or mule walking in a circle, pushing against a pole attached to that metal shaft at the top of the mill. Raw sorghum juice would be captured in a bucket below the mill.
