Description
Latecomers to the Catawba River area, the Murray family operated a grist mill along Balls Creek beginning in 1883. The current two-story mill, built by John Murray in 1913, replaced his father's original mill structure. Descending down Murrays Mill Road toward the water, visitors are greeted by the mill building on the right, and the Murray and Minges General Store on the left.The mill appears just as it had when the Murray's closed the doors in 1967. Featuring one-ton French buhr millstones plus a Eureka roller mill, Murray's Mill is just one part of this historic site. The wheat house, miller's home and mill create a perfect atmosphere for the annual Harvest Folk Festival.
