Causey's Mill, Gristmill in Newport News, US
Causey's Mill features original wooden milling machinery, including a hurst frame and millstones, within a two-story white-painted wood frame building overlooking Lake Maury.
William Causey constructed this grist mill in 1866 following the Civil War, making it one of two remaining historic mills between the James and York Rivers.
The mill represents the agricultural traditions of Virginia, where grist mills performed the essential function of converting local grain crops into flour for communities.
The City of Newport News currently maintains the property through a 55-year lease agreement, allowing visitors to examine the historical milling equipment and architecture.
The mill contains a twenty-inch Leffel Turbine Wheel from its operational period, along with original cast iron spindles and stone-lifting tongs still in position.
