Travel back in time in Boxley Valley Historic District to tour one of the earliest examples of industry in the Buffalo River Valley! The historic Boxley Grist Mill was constructed in 1869 to serve a growing agricultural community. The mill, which was fully operational until 1951, is preserved through a partnership between the Gorgas Science Foundation and the National Park Service.

This event is sponsored by BNRP as part of the 50th anniversary History Weekend.

Volunteers can report to the Mill at 10:45 to help with visitor information.  For more information, please contact Aletha at aletha_tetterton@nps.gov
