The historic Lee and Gordon’s Mill in Chickamauga, Georgia. The first mill was built by James Gordon in 1836, and rebuilt with a general store added, in 1857. During the Civil War the Mill changed hands several times between the Union Army, and the Confederates. And was at times the headquarters for the Confederate Army under General Braxton Bragg, and George B. Crittenden. The mill sits along West Chickamauga Creek, which the Chickamauga Battle was named after, and was at times the front line between the two armies.
In 1867 the mill burned and was rebuilt by James Lee, who had married James Gordon’s daughter. Lee operated the mill until his death in 1889.
