The Graue Mill is a waterwheel-driven gristmill that dates back to 1852. The milling process is demonstrated and explained on the tour. The basement is one of the few authenticated stations of the underground railroad system and a museum on the two upper floors contains items from the mid- and late-1800s. Demonstrations of weaving and spinning are also of interest.
