Thank you to all who came out on a very wet and cold Saturday for the Grits Festival. Although the day did not go as planned, we still had a few brave souls who came out later in the afternoon when the rain stopped. We have rescheduled the Grits Festival for Saturday, June 15. All vendors who have already paid for a spot are invited to come back at no charge. Please let me know as soon as possible if you want me to save your spot. New vendors will need to send in an application and check. The Grits Festival is a success because of the wonderful volunteers that are willing to give so generously of their time. Saturday proved that the Kymulga Grist Mill has the BEST volunteers ever!

The City of Childersburg, AL acquired the Kymulga Grist Mill and Park in June 2011. It is operated and managed by The Childersburg Historical Preservation Commission as a tourist attraction and venue for recreation, education, events and family fun.

Proceeds from the park itself, fundraising events and donations are all used in maintaining, restoring and preserving this historical landmark.

Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, the Kymulga Grist Mill, Covered Bridge and Park is a unique and special place in our community. We invite you to come explore it's natural beauty, learn about it's history and see the exciting changes taking place.

All donations are needed and welcome!

The house is open to the public, free of charge, on Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m-4 p.m. unless booked for an event.
