Description
Lying abandon for nearly 50 years, reopening the Yates Mill was indeed a great cause for celebration. Along with an 18 year restoration project, more than 570 acres of park land were added for the Yates Mill County Park.
With many, many long hours of painstaking volunteer work, completed restoration of both the building and equipment have made the mill fully functional. Mill tours occasionally show off the huge mill stones in action, grinding corn into meal. The historic mill was built in 1756, the last surving grist mill in Wake County, North Carolina.
