     The following pictures are of local millstones. Note the different types of designs and centers on the stones. Some have a square center, some a circle, and some a slotted circle...indicating their different functions and placement within the mills.
     The stones currently located at the Deery Inn in Blountville were gathered together from across the region by Virginia Byars & Judge Joseph Caldwell , owners of the Inn for over 40 years. The stones were placed as large stepping-stones and the remainder were left lying "loosely" about the Inn property.
Many of these stones were sold at auction in mid-2009.
