Image is a digital painting of the Mingus Mill millrace at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Located at its original site, Mingus Mill stands as a tribute to the test of time. Inside, the miller demonstrates the process of grinding corn into cornmeal. Cornmeal and other mill-related items are available for purchase at the mill.

Mingus Mill was built in 1886 by the millwright Sion Thomas Early of Sevier County, Tennessee. Early did the work for John Mingus, a son of John Jacob Mingus.
