Artist's Description
Still standing in its original location along Talladega Creek, Kymulga Grist Mill is a remarkable Alabama historic landmark, lucky to escape the Union torch during the Civil War.
The mill was built by South Carolina contractor G.E. Morris. who not only guided construction work crews, but also forged mill gears and parts in his own Carolina foundry. The three story structure was supported by huge wooden beams, running the entire length and width of the building. All the timber was gathered on site, cut at the mill and assembled with wooden pegs. The French Buhr millstones were brought in by oxen and sled, all the way from the port at Mobile. Three underwater turbines powered the mill machinery, lights and grain elevator.
About Ben Prepelka
Born in western Pennsylvania, Ben quickly discovered that his parents were passionate about travel, photography, oil painting and wildlife. Being the youngest member of his family, he grew up exploring much of the eastern half of the United States at an early age with his older brothers. Ben's photography is about that part of his youth, echoing that same passion that his parents had of the Great Outdoors. Visit
