About

Visit the original 1855 grist mill. Civil War soldiers from both sides used it as a camp site and today it hosts the annual Prater's Mill Country Fair each October.

Prater's Mill was built in the mid-19th century. It is located in Whitfield county, near Varnell, Georgia. Serving the city of Dalton as a working mill, it is now used as the center piece of a country fair that showcases cultural history of Southern Appalachia. The country fair consists of mountain music, Southern foods, and living history exhibits and the handmade crafts and original art. Crafts include blacksmithing, spinning, quilting, rug hooking, woodcarving, and hand tufting.
