Graue Mill, History museum in Oak Brook, Illinois.
The four-story mill building features a wooden waterwheel that powers grinding stones to produce flour using the flow from Salt Creek.
Friedrich Graue, a German immigrant, constructed this gristmill in 1852, using limestone from Lemont and bricks made from clay from his farm.
The mill stands as a testament to 19th-century agricultural practices, demonstrating traditional grain grinding methods through regular milling demonstrations.
Located at 3800 York Road, the museum operates Wednesday through Sunday from April to November, offering guided tours and milling demonstrations.
The mill served as a verified station on the Underground Railroad, providing shelter to individuals escaping slavery before the Civil War.
