The Old Graue Mill

Last weekend we enjoyed a fall walk at The Old Graue Mill and Fullersburg Forest Preserve. The Old Graue Mill was erected in 1852 in Oak Brook, IL to grind corn into corn meal along Salt Creek. The water wheel has been restored and continues to work today. Historically, the mill was a part of the underground railroad. The creek and mill are part of a beautiful forest preserve with paths for walking. We saw ducks, geese, a blue heron, and a white crane. We ended our visit by purchasing corn meal and made chili with corn bread over the weekend.
