These two out buildings are located near Healan’s Mill on Whitehall Road in Lula. The old mill is owned by Hall County.
A historic gristmill may get new life after years of decaying off a dusty road in rural East Hall County. Officials are looking at using proceeds from the five-year special purpose local option sales tax approved by voters in March to stabilize Healan’s Mill, which dates to the mid-1800s, said Marty Nix, assistant county administrator. “We need to get it to where we stop the damage,” he said.
