1940 Picture of Watts Grist Mill just outside Clarkesville. In 1969 the mill was sold to a couple who turned this into a pottery shop called "Mark of the Potter" and it is still operated under this name. Romanes Photo. I have read that some people in the town of Burton would take corn here to be ground.
