A Glimpse into Hood's Past
Hood has a long history, going back hundreds of years! One of its most famous spots is where the Robert Heath Mills used to be. These were old grist mills built in the early 1700s. A grist mill is a special building where farmers would bring their grains, like corn or wheat. Big grinding stones inside the mill would turn the grains into flour. It was a very important place for people living nearby!
Did you know that Hood wasn't always called Hood? A long time ago, this community had a different name: Springdale.
