Lee and Gordon's Mill on Chickamauga Creek. In September, 1863 the mill was a acutely, pivotal point of the battle of Chickamauga. Fortunately, the mill saw only relatively minor cavalry encounters.

James Gordon, an entreprenuer, purchased land in 1836 that had recently been distributed to whites during the Sixth Land Lottery. The mill, built by James Holiway on the Chickamauga Creek, was part of this land purchase. Gordon's daughter married James Lee in 1857. It was he, the main miller and a staunch Confederate at the now Lee & Gornen's Mill, who was forced to grind grain for the Union Army; as Gorden had died earlier in the year of 1863.

The landmark mill served as a point of reference for both Yankee and Rebel troops, as well as providing flour for their bellies, as they moved into the area in Setember, 1863. The early industrial structure also housed a general store that was frequented by the Union troops and a bridge that crossed the Chickamauga Creek immediately south of the mill that was of extreme interest to the Rebels troops and their officers.

The Wallace Bros. owned and operated the mill since 1929, finally closing the operation in 1967. The front section of the mill is dedicated as a museum that contains a photographic history of the mill from the Civil War era down to the present, with pictures of all the owners.
