Grimes Mill
For an interesting perspective on how flour was ground, stop in at the Grimes Mill when visiting Salisbury. This mill is unique because unlike traditionally water-powered mills this mill used steam power. The mill is also unique in that it is housed in a 5-story building built in 1896. The Grimes Mill is the only roller mill in the state of North Carolina.
