Mingus Mill: Historic Turbine-Powered Grinding & Free Entry

4.3 (527)

Skip the hour-long hike and pull directly into the lot for this 1886 turbine-powered mill. It takes maybe twenty minutes to walk through, but watching the massive iron turbine spin is legitimately impressive compared to typical static displays. Grab a bag of stone-ground cornmeal from the gift shop before you leave. It is a quick, functional stop off the Oconaluftee River that feels like a glitch in the simulation. Don't plan your entire afternoon here.
