Friends Of The Eleven Point River

[Brian Sloss]

Guys

We have recently started an organization called Friends of the Eleven Point River which will work on projects with the forest service to make improvements on the Eleven Point River. Our first project, which will consume all our efforts for the first few years, is the saving and restoring of the old Greer mill built in 1899. We will be launching a web page in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime we have set up a facebook page. Seems I can't add links here, but if you go to your facebook page and search Friends of the Eleven Point River you should find it.

Sounds like a good idea, wish I lived a little closer to help. How far gone is the mill now? I have not been to it since the late 80's.

It is going to need to be a big project. We are supposed to have a historical preservation experts come in let us know just how big. You will be able to see pics on our facebook page and our web site (when it is ready).

You are not planning on restoring the waterworks portion of the mill are you? That would be a major chore.

Just the mill on hwy 19, there will not be a hammer or nail within 3/4 of a mile of the spring branch.
