Head's Mill, commonly referred to as Healan's Mill, was built in 1852 by William Head. It is located off of Whitehall Road in East Hall County, GA and is the only standing gristmill left in the county. The Healan's purchased the mill in the 1960's from then owner F.H. Turner and restored the mill, turning it into a antique store. The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 through the hard work of Burnice Healan. Hall County, GA purchased the mill on March 5, 2003 with plans to raise funds to restore and operate the mill. In the end, apparently it was the need to restore the gravel Whitehall Road that stopped the project. Today, the mill stands inside a chain link fence on a largely over-grown lot waiting for politicians to get their act together. Might be there like that for a while.
