A mill stone believed to be from Haun's Mill, dating from 1836 to about 1845, is linked to a tragic episode in American religious history and reflects the enduring need for greater understanding and tolerance among people of differing ideologies, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds. After miscommunication and feelings of powerlessness to effect change in the wake of what were seen as offensive Mormon military actions in Daviess County, Livingston County Regulators and other volunteers brutally attacked the Mormon settlement of Haun's Mill on Shoal Creek on 30 October 1838, killing 17 persons, 14 of whom were hastily interred in a partially completed well at the site. In memory of the massacre, local residents moved the mill stone to Breckenridge sometime after 1927.
