Review:
A visit to Prater’s Mill Historic Site near Dalton is a great way to combine a little history with a fun family day out. Located in northwest Georgia, along Georgia Highway 2, the historic water-powered grist mill was built in 1855 on the banks of the Coahulla Creek. The mill site played a prominent part in the Civil War, when it was used as a campsite for soldiers on both sides. Visitors are welcome to explore the mill on a self-guided tour (guided tours are available by prior arrangement) and enjoy a variety of fun outdoor activities including small boats, geocaching, hiking, picnicking and fishing.
