Rockport
Site of 1800's Grist Mills, none of which remain.
Rockport, located on the Great River Road, has had
four grist mills on the same site. The original mill
was built in 1830 and burned in 1846. Two more times
mills were built and lost to fires. The last was built
in 1867-68. Foundations remain where barges used to
tie up before the Mississippi River was contained
by levees to provide fertile bottom land.
