The Watkins Mill in Butts County, Jackson, Ga. is located between Macon and Atlanta on Hwy 42. I doubt that this mill house came from this area. The old building at Watkins Mill in Butts County more or less deteriorated to the ground. The area is now abandoned, overgrown, inaccessible and on private property. The Mill in Butts stopped operation in early teens or twenties. Definite date not known.
Brian,. We are at Spring Lake till Wednesday. We are cooking tonight and have plenty of food if y’all want to come up.
Hope you get this.

This is the only post that references where “Matthews” is. Most folks won’t even know where Butts County is; I don’t! Tell us the nearest bigger city, so we’ll have some kind of idea where in the world this is: e.g. Macon, Valdosta, Gainesville, etc. A larger reference point is always helpful.
This Watkins Mill is in Matthews, Ga., Jefferson county. It is about 25 miles south of Augusta, Ga. I’m 49 years old and this building was in Matthews when I was a small child and it was there and looked old then.
I have personally when I was kid went and got fresh ground corn meal from here.
I lived in Matthews from about 1974-1984.
