Crossing the Creek at Kenan's Mill

You don't have to cross Valley Creek on the swinging bridge at Kenan's Mill, but it sure gives you a challenge!

The mill and grounds are open today from 9 a.m. til 5 p.m. for the annual fall festival that features fresh-ground cornmeal and grits, bluegrass music, cornbread and chili cookoffs, pottery making, arts and crafts, wagon rides, inflatable games for children, tours of the mill house and much more. The music begins at 11 a.m. at the bandstand.

Oh yes, you can reach the mill by vehicle or by walking across the old iron bridge. The new red barn also offers handicap-accessible restrooms. So, come on!
