Nora Mill Granary was started in 1876. It was renamed for Governor Dr. Lamartine G. Hardman, sister Nora 1902. Nora Mill remained in the Hardman Family until 1998, when it, along with 300 surrounding acres, was purchased by a group of investors associated with Nacoochee Village, Ltd to what we are so blessed to see today.
Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ron Fain learned the art of milling from the Hardman family and leased Nora Mill for him and his parents to bring back to life and operate. Ron became the Miller of Nora Mill. Over the years, Ron worked with his parents until their passing, and then brought his youngest daughter Joann in under his wing to learn the art of milling and work the Nora Mill business with him.
Ron and Joann began to grow the idea of marketing a number of recipes that were unique to Nora Mill. Nora mill is still family run now.
Things change but Nora Mill trues to keep things as close to back in the day. The dam, Raceway and penstock have been rebuilt to make the place to continue to have the special charm that bring people back for more. They have just redone the Machinery as well so if you have not been in awhile you should come and get you some Ice Cream or Porridge.
