Description

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. Join a park ranger for a tour through the mill at 10:00 AM on Saturdays between now and August 3rd.

The parking area is located on Hwy. 43 about 1 mile north of the Hwy. 21/43 intersection. Watch for the program sign at the driveway of a tan-colored stone house.
