Millstones From Audrain's First Mill Now Repose On County Museum Lawn
Millstones from Audrain County’s first grist mill, over a century old, were moved to the Audrain County Historical Society Museum grounds. The Duncan Blue Mill, built in the 1850s near Littleby Baptist Church, once operated with mules pulling the sweep, taking toll of meal. The stones were transported to Mexico in 1899, later donated by Mrs. J. M. Atkinson family, and eventually placed on Miss Emma McPheeters’ lawn before being moved to the museum.
