Kymulga Grist Mill and Covered Bridge

Kymulga Mill & Covered Bridge are two locally owned historic landmarks located at Kymulga Park in Childersburg, Alabama. The park is on Grist Mill Road (County Road 46) off State Route 76 about 4 miles northeast of Childersburg. The mill and bridge are the only pair of such structures in Alabama still standing together in their original location. Kymulga Mill is a working gristmill built in 1864 by German contractor GE Morris for Confederate Army Captain William H. Forney. Captain Forney died before construction was completed, but his wife allowed Morris to finish it. Union Army soldiers burned most of the gristmills throughout the area during the Civil War, but Kymulga Mill was missed.
