In the 1950’s, farmers from all over the region would bring their grain harvest to be processed and stored at the grain mill here. Today, the huge building has been lovingly restored into a beautiful industrial event space called Southern Granary, with a brand new Bridal Suite & Groom’s Den, air conditioning throughout, catering kitchen, terraced patios, concrete floors and rustic wood accents handcrafted here on the property.
