Old Mill of Guilford

Oak Ridge

The Old Mill of Guilford is a fully operational, formerly water-powered, 18th-century grist mill.

This working mill and country store, with the sights and smells of another era, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and offers a gift shop with a variety of stone-ground meals, grits, flour, mixes (pancake, muffins, cookies, etc), pottery, and crafts.

The Old Mill of Guilford was founded in North Carolina on Beaver Creek in 1767 to grind grain for the early settlers of what is now Guilford County. Today, the mill continues to produce all-natural, stone-ground, whole-grain foods, just as it has for more than 240 years.

The Old Mill of Guilford is a popular, scenic tourist attraction and has long been a favorite subject for artists and photographers. Please make plans to stop by and visit.
