George Weddle operated a gristmill on Muddy Creek from the early to
mid-1800s. The mill stood about two miles from the Kentucky River,
near the road from Richmond to Jackson's Ferry. The establishment
played a prominent role in the local community for nearly a
century. The gristmill produced flour and cornmeal for nearby
farmers, as well as for a distillery, and a stagecoach stop brought
travelers by the tavern to sample the house whiskey. The mill was a
county landmark until it was destroyed by a fire in 1971. Several
concerns operated at the site at various times, including Douglas'
Mill, Weddle's Mill, Walden's Distillery, Ogg's Mill and Griggs'
Mill. Cassius Marcellus Clay, that most colorful member of
Kentucky's most illustrious family, owned the mill for sixteen
years. 54 pp.
