Fleece from sheep was brought to the mill to be cleaned, carded, spun, dyed, woven, and sewn into clothing and blankets. Though there are some stories of Civil War uniforms being made at Yount's Woolen Mill, there is no official documentation supporting this claim. The mill ceased operations in 1905. Yountsville was a small thriving village through the mid-1880s, and with the introduction of the railroad, the importance of the area mills diminished.

An 1851 Federal-style boarding house and inn sits 60 feet (18 m) above the mill overlooking Sugar Creek.
