The record

The Colliers were pioneers of this area; George W. Collier's antebellum plantation included nearby Land Lot 104 (GHS). The mill stood at the center of the Federal line along Collier Road and in the thick of the Battle of Peachtree Creek on July 20, 1864. The marker gives no construction date.

Today: Near Collier Rd on Tanyard Branch.
