Description
The historic Meytre Grist Mill is one of the hightlights of McGalliard Falls Park. The park name gives away the other main attraction in the park, the 40 foot high McGalliard Falls. The original mill wheel was washed away in a flood, replaced by a remote wheel and turbine. Meytre operated the mill until 1941, grinding corn for corn meal, wheat for flour and meal for livestock.
About midway between Hickory and Morganton, the park is just off I-40 and offers plenty of amenities to keep all the family members busy, including tennis courts, a volleyball court, playground, and picnic facilities.
