Except for a few upgrades and a disastrous fire, Atkinson Mill has been in continuous operation since 1757. Located on the picturesque banks of the Little River, Atkinson’s Mill and its original earthen dam were built by John Ritchardson when North Carolina was still a colony. The mill didn’t take up much of the 2,400-acre Ritchardson plantation, but provided a generous supply of ground corn to the plantation as well as to area farmers, who bagged their shelled corn and hauled it to the mill for processing.

Atkinson Milling Company is the only water powered grist mill operating in a four county area. The cornmeal is stone ground and is noted for its quality. Products include: hush puppy mix, biscuit mix, funnel cake mix, seafood breader, and chicken breader and more. Stop by the office and pick out your favorite product.

In 2019, the mill was honored with an historic marker from the Johnston County Heritage Center. Four generations of Wheelers were there to celebrate the history of the mill.
