- General Info
- Murray’s Mill Historic District nestles just as it did a century ago along the banks of Balls Creek. It's perfect for an afternoon picnic or a quick leg-stretcher. A placid pond slips over the dam, and the 28’ waterwheel makes its slow way 'round. Preserved intact are the 1913 mill itself, the 1890s Murray & Minges General Store, the 1880s Wheathouse, the 1913 John Murray House, furnished to the period, and numerous outbuildings. Run by three generations of the Murray Family, who abandoned operations in 1967, the picturesque structures and surrounding land form the last milling complex in the county, meticulously preserved and interpreted by the Catawba County Historical Association since 1980 when restorations began. Also are site are picnic tables and 2 hiking trails where you can enjoy the agricultural setting just as the Murrays did over 100 years ago.Murray’s Mill Historic District nestles just as it did a century ago along the banks of Balls Creek.
