The Millstone Wedding & Event Venue

The Millstone Wedding and Event Venue is a rustic, yet stunning venue and event space located in Limestone, TN. The venue is situated on a 40-acre farm that offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere for weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. The East Tennessee wedding venue also features natural landscaping and a stunning historical design for a unique ambiance. 

The Millstone

The History of this Beautiful Venue

Thomas Brabson built the mill in 1811 and powered it with a wooden, 15-foot-high water wheel. The mill used to grind corn. As a result, it was one of the most crucial factories in the lives of early European settlers, who were primarily farmers. 

During the civil war (in the 1860s), the Michigan Union regiment occupied the mill before selling it to the Gray family in the 1900s. The family used the mill as a post office in 1910, and the equipment they used then, like the teller counter, still exists today at the venue.  

In the 1940s, the owners used the water wheel to generate their own electricity as well as for the neighboring houses. The mill shut down in 1994 and stayed dormant till 2010, when William and Danielle Barrett bought it. 

THE RENOVATION

When Danielle and William bought the mill, its condition was unsightly. Rotten structures, sagged beams, and roof leaks were the conditions of this place. But they made significant improvements that restored the historical beauty of the Millstone. 

For example, they replaced old, damaged beams with historical material of a similar period. That way, the new owners maintained the old, beautiful look while improving the mill’s structural strength. 

In short, William and Danielle renovated the place while maintaining its historic character. In fact, they reused the millwork, original floor, and siding when restoring the beauty of the Millstone wedding venue. The original milling equipment is also available as part of Millstone’s decor.
