Price's Mill

Price's Mill is a gristmill located along Stevens Creek in Parksville, built with traditional wooden construction and equipped with mechanical systems for grain processing. The structure harnesses water power to operate its original milling equipment.

The mill was built in 1890 to serve the local agricultural community by processing grain into flour. It played a role in regional food production during the late 1800s.

The mill represents a period when water-powered facilities served as central gathering points for farmers and residents throughout McCormick County. These locations shaped social life in rural communities.

The mill is located east of Parksville on SC 138 and remains under private ownership, so advance arrangement is necessary for visits. Contacting the owner beforehand is the best way to see the property.

The original grain-grinding machinery at the mill showcases 19th-century engineering with visible gears and mechanical systems. This equipment demonstrates how water power was directly converted into milling work.
