WELCOME TO THE FRANCIS MILL PRESERVATION SOCIETY'S WEB SITE.
Located just outside Waynesville, North Carolina, the Francis Mill is a 19th century grist mill built to grind corn and wheat.
It operated until 1976, and then began to fall into disrepair. The society was formed to restore the mill. Please feel free to explore our site.
(The mill is approximately 2.4 miles from Main Street, Waynesville on Highway 276 SOUTH. GPS coordinates are 35 degrees 28-48N, 82 degrees 57-45 W. The elevation is about 2739 ft.)
