Description:
One vestige of a more prosperous past is this two-story adobe mill, which ground out 50 barrels of wheat flour a day, virtually every day, from 1901 to 1947. It was the last flour mill to be built in New Mexico and the last to stop running, and it is the only roller mill in the state to have its original milling works intact. Today, it's been converted into a museum with exhibits on local regional history and culture. The Millfest, on Labor Day weekend, features the mill in operation, dances, arts and crafts, music, and more. It's advisable to call ahead because the mill is closed from time to time. Plan to spend 1 to 2 hours exploring.
