Aurora Steam Grist Mill
Aurora Steam Grist Mill, Industrial ruins in Aurora, New York
The Aurora Steam Grist Mill stands as a rectangular stone structure on the shores of Lake Cayuga, featuring three and a half stories of solid construction.
Built in 1817 by architect Junia Curtis, this mill operated as one of the first steam-powered grain processing facilities west of the Hudson River.
The mill functioned as a central gathering point for local farmers, who brought their grain for processing while exchanging news and conducting business.
Located at coordinates 42.754167, -76.704167, the site now consists of remaining foundations after its demolition in 1992 for the Aurora Inn dock construction.
The structure pioneered steam power usage in the region, marking a shift from traditional water-powered milling methods in early 19th-century New York State.
