Pictures by: Grady Allen, summer 2005 - Sixes Mill is the site of one of the earlist settlements in north Georgia. The area was settled by gold miners as early as 1819. The earliest grist mill was probably built after the gold land lottery around 1831-32.

Pictures by: Grady Allen, summer 2005 - The mill survived the Civil War without being burned. As the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad began to rebuild and expand from Knoxville to Marietta, the mill that stands today was rebuilt. This being between 1878 and 1880 to take advantage of the improved shipping facilities provided by the railroad.
