This issue’s highlighted artifact is perfect for summer. It’s a photograph of swimmers at Gibson’s Pond in Lexington. The pond was a recreation area for Lexington residents for many years. The picture, taken by the mother of the donor around 1950, shows George’s Mill in the background. The mill was the last operating flour mill in the county and the last mill of any kind on Twelve Mile Creek. The donor’s great uncle, Dibble George, owned the mill and pond before selling to the Gibson family.
