In the fall of 1851, three Mills brothers
headed west, one by water, one by land and
one to Texas. This brought Joel Mills wife,
Kitura Burke Bird and family from Henderson
Co., Tennessee to Sevier County, now known
as Little River County. While operating Mills
Ferry on the south bank of the Little River,
he constructed a cypress log cabin on top of
red hill. The log cabin was later disassembled
and made into a corncrib. These cypress logs
are from that corncrib and were reassembled
into the log cabin you see before you. This
original pioneer's son was S.S.P. Mills and
grandson Joel Mills, who built the red brick
store across the highway in 1912.
