Murray's Mill Historic District
Murray's Mill Historic District, Mill complex in Catawba County, North Carolina.
Murray's Mill Historic District spans 152.9 acres, containing over 20 buildings including a two-story mill, residences, and complementary structures from the 1880s to mid-20th century.
John Murray built the current mill structure in 1913, replacing his father William's earlier operation, and installed a 22-foot overshot waterwheel to power the grinding mechanisms.
The mill represents three generations of the Murray family's contribution to local agriculture, serving as a center for grain processing in eastern Catawba County.
Visitors can explore the mill Thursday through Friday from June to September and weekends from March to November, with guided tours explaining traditional milling processes.
The mill maintains its original French buhr millstones weighing one ton and a Eureka roller mill system used for converting wheat into flour.
