Review:
The Old Mill Square is a complex of shops and restaurants located on Old Mill Avenue. It includes a water-powered gristmill built in 1836 on the banks of the Pigeon River in the Great Smoky Mountains. Over the years, the mill has been used to grind flour and meal. Later, it was used as a gathering place for locals, a place to house wounded soldiers during the Civil War, and a source of electricity.
Today, it still functions as a mill and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. If you are wondering what to do in Pigeon Forge today, this is a great place to start exploring. The Old Mill Square is home to the Old Mill General Store, two restaurants, a pottery shop, a jewelry shop, and much more.
