The long history of the Napa Valley is captured in a visit and tour of the Bale Grist Mill. I recommend a weekend visit when you can actually see the process of grinding the ancient grains.

Great looking mill. There are tours inside which typically take about 45 to 60 minutes. $8 adults and $3 kids. Parking is inside state park. We weren’t aware and saw few cars parked on the side of the street.

This is a great place to visit. There is so much history. The tour guy Mario is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to tell you stories as long as you are interested and have the time. We spent 1 1/2 hours there. Time well spent.

Cool historic site to visit, working water grain mill. Cool the way community used to come together to mill grain, listen to music, etc. worth stopping by and reading the history.

This is a little gem of a historic site. There's a trail, restrooms and an old water mill that is still operational. You can buy tour tickets (and souvenirs) in the little exhibit room. Not sure if the tour guides are all like the one we had, but he was a blast. A retired engineer who knows his mill tech and loves to explain everything from the history to the mechanics. He definitely turned what is probably a very dry tour into an educational and engaging one.

This is a working water powered grain mill from the 1800s. Patent number 3! If you are interested in industrial processes, take the tour. You can purchase souvenir flour.
