11 May 2012 Trip continues Breckenridge, and Hauns Mill

We headed towards a small town of Breckenridge,
here is where one of the mill stones taken from Hauns Mill
has been placed for all to remember.
We then traveled to the Hauns Mill site,
the sign still reflects the Community of Christ.
The Church has just recently announced the purchase of Hauns Mill,
and other historical sites a total of 6000 acres.
This is wonderful news.

This is the second millstone known as the White millstone,

discoverd in 1907, a party taking photos of the Hauns mill site.

Discovered this millstone on the north side of Shoal Creek.

This is called the Red Millstone it was used at Hauns Mill.

The red millstone was used as a tombstone over the well,

were 13 victims were buried.  In 1941 it was moved

and placed edgeways at this site on Hauns Mill.
It is one of the three millstones found.

The marker reads: "South west of here on Oct 30th 1838 occured
the incident generally known as the Haun's Mill Massacre.
This site is located by Wm. R. Pemberton.  This marker was
placed here by Glen M. Setzer, 1941."

The feelings at Hauns Mill are sobering,

and you feel the weight of what took place in this

humble location.  Even the creek mourns the loss.
