Yates Mill, Historic mill and museum in Wake County, United States.
The fully operational water-powered grist mill features original millstones, wooden gears, and mechanisms that demonstrate traditional corn grinding methods from centuries past.
Built around 1756, Yates Mill served local farmers for two centuries as Wake County's primary grain processing facility until its closure in the 1950s.
The mill complex includes a research center where North Carolina State University students study agricultural traditions and historical milling techniques.
Visitors can join guided tours of the mill every third weekend of the month, observe corn grinding demonstrations, and explore the surrounding 174-acre nature preserve.
The structure stands as the last remaining operable water-powered mill among 70 that once existed in Wake County.
