Meece Mill, located in Pickens, was originally constructed in the 1800s and reconstructed in the early 1930s. Until around 1964, it served local residents as a processor of grits, flour, and cornmeal. Today, the building serves as a restaurant, open the third Saturday of every month, specializing in barbecue, hot dogs, and made-from-scratch baked goods. The restaurant is called Yoder’s at Meece Mills. We are actively seeking additional information to add to this entry. If you can help, please add information below. Thank you!

My grandfather was James R. Gravely and my grandmother Bessie Bell Meece. I do have a picture of the label of their cornmeal flour. I wish I knew more of their history and life … thanks for keeping this history.
My grandfather, Elza Meece, and his family were associated with Meece’s Mill. We have flour sack labels of “Meece’s Best” ground flour from that mill.
Gregory,
My grandfather, Newton Norwood Meece, and his father were a big part of Meece’s Mill … do you have any photos?
Thanks,
Mike Simmons
