This was an interesting museum. I was looking for cultural things to do while visiting Lombard for the weekend.
The large mill had several historical facts. There was a live demonstration of the stone wheel grinding corn into corn meal. There are three stories, with the top two being a museum and the basement floor part of the Underground Railroad station shop. Taking back into little known American History were relics of the slave trade.
The museum entrance fee was $6 for adults.
The outside grounds were kept nicely and there was a short trail along the river.

The Graue Mill and Museum is located at 3800 South York Road in Oak Brook, Illinois, northwest of the junction of Spring and York Roads, on the banks of Salt Creek, surrounded by Fullersburg Woods. The mill is a water-powered grist mill that was originally erected in 1852. Now a museum, it is one of two operating water-powered grist mills in Illinois. The other is located in Franklin Creek. The Graue Mill, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, is open to the public and continues to grind grain which can be purchased at the site. Historically, the mill is one of three authenticated Illinois stops on the Underground Railroad, the subversive movement that helped fugitive slaves escape from the American South to Canada. It operated in eastern Du Page County under three generations of the Graue family for nearly 60 years. In the 1910s, advances in milling technology, particularly the invention of steel rolling mills, drove the Graue mill out of business. It was restored by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1934-1943 and opened to the public as a working historic site in 1951. It was recognized as a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1981.

My 8 y/o daughter and I really enjoyed this museum. Staff was friendly & informative. This is advertised in a small yellow book of museums for kids. A year later my daughter still remembers much she learned. Difficult for allergy sufferers as the house is 200 years old.

I stop here almost always when I need to breath between meetings and clients . Perfect spot for a short or longer walk and for relaxing. I went to the museum once so now I just walk around it’s grounds.

I LOVE this Mill and the surrounding Fullersburg Preserve walking trails. Great for all ages. Trail is paved asphalt and has markers kids can read about. Year round use, even biking happens here. Cross country skiing in winter. You can spend 45 min here or several hours. Just GO!

We thoroughly enjoy the Graue Mill and Museum. It is a peak into the past for the locality. Walking the path along the river is very peaceful. Watching the damn outside the Mill is nice. It is connected to Fullersburg Woods along a path of asphalt and crushed limestone for walkers, some bikers use this as well. It can also access the Salt Creek Greenway Trail. Across the river from the Mill is the York Tavern. This is a Tavern with decent burgers, veggie wraps and beer.

Love the history and the setting. Grab a bag of corn meal while you're there! The path meanders along the Salt Creek. In the mill is the basement museum as well.

The Graue Mill, a water-powered grist mill that was originally erected in 1852 and is one of only two operating water-powered grist mills in Illinois, has experienced and written a lot of history over the decades. Not the least of which is the fact that it was one of three authenticated Illinois stops on the Underground Railroad, the subversive movement that helped fugitive slaves escape from the American South to Canada before, during and after the Civil War. Located at 3800 South York Road, northwest of the junction of Spring and York Roads, on the banks of Salt Creek in Oak Brook, Illinois, the Graue Mill is surrounded by Fullersburg woods. Added to the National Register of HIstoric Places in 1975 and recognized as a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1981, it is currently open to the public and grinds grain that can be purchased at the site. The mill went into operation in the summer of 1852. It was built by Friedrich Graue, who emigrated from Germany to the United States in the late 1840s. He brought with him a knowledge of the craft of waterwheel grist milling and built a kiln on his farmstead, fired the bricks and slowly raised the new structure and waterwheel into place. The mill operated in eastern Du Page County under three generations of the Graue family for about 60 years. In the 1910s, advances in milling technology drove the Graue Mill out of business. However, it was restored by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1934-43 and was opened to the public as a working historic site in 1951. Since then, it has been periodically restored to keep it in operating condition, including work completed in 2002.

It was so fun to bring my grandson to the mill museum and see him enjoy history.
We enjoyed having lunch alongside the creek and a stroll along the bank.

Is this a place for handicapped elderly to visit?

The hiking trails are on either side of the river - a relatively short walk - many points to stop and watch the waterfowl. At the car parking area, there is a large, mounted map of the area showing the mill, historic farmhouse, and parts of the trails - don't know of any "handout" maps, but the docent inside the mill can probably answer your questions. Enjoy ! (PS the burgers at the hamburger heaven - York Tavern next door to the mill, are a must).
Are there walking trails?
