Haun's Mill

Haun's Mill Site
Haun's Mill was a mill established on the banks of Shoal Creek in Fairview Township, Caldwell County, Missouri in 1835–1836 by Jacob Haun (Hawn), who was not a Mormon. However, by October 1838 there were approximately 75 Mormon families living along the banks of Shoal Creek, about 30 of them in the immediate vicinity of Haun's Mill and the blacksmith shop.

Shoal Creek
On October 30, 1838 a mob/militia unit from Livingston County Missouri attacked a Mormon settlement in eastern Caldwell County, after the Battle of Crooked River. By far the bloodiest event in the 1838 Mormon War in Missouri. The fifty-five attackers known by name to be involved were never prosecuted.
