While the date of construction of Dicks’ Mill ranges from approximately 1755 to 1830, like so many other mills in the area following the Revolutionary War, it is typical of early industry in Randolph County powered by the the area's rivers.

RANDLEMAN — St.Paul’s October program is scheduled for the 18th. Doors open at 2:00 and the program will begin at 2:15.
Continuing the series of programs about our area of the state during and following the Revolutionary War, this program will look at Randolph County during the post Revolutionary period. As with any area recovering from a war, Randolph County citizens faced many hardship and challenges.
Our guest speaker, Mac Whatley, will focus on how the people of Randolph County faced and dealt with these challenges, which in many ways have determined much of what our county is today. Do join us for this quite interesting local history.
As for the continuing work on the interior of St. Paul to return it to its original appearance, you will notice a quite conspicuous absence of the off-white pews. They have been returned to their original dark brown color. While this will not make them more comfortable, it will continue to bring the sanctuary closer to its original appearance.
As always, we appreciate your support of St. Paul. There is not another church with such interior painting anywhere else, either in North Carolina or in any other state. You are supporting and enjoying a unique building.
If you have not yet been to St. Paul, you will find this upcoming program most interesting. As always, the museum is at the corner of High Point and Stout Streets. Come early for best parking.
