Bale Grist Mill

Ricky chose the Bale Grist Mill in Napa County for his 4th grade California Landmarks project. Since he chose a nearby location, we were able to take a field trip and gather information for his project.



There is a Miller who tend to the mill and still mills flour to this day. He gives great demonstrations and was really helpful to Ricky as the Miller knew all of the history of the mill. We also provided a donation and took home a couple small bags of flour which we’ve been enjoying really yummy pancakes from. Ricky also used it for his oral report.

Ricky was able to write an excellent report, made a really cool model of the mill (It helps to have an Architect for a Dad), and gave a great oral report. He earned himself an A+ for the entire project. We are so proud of him!!
