Join the Napa Open Space District and the Napa Valley State Parks Association for the 175th anniversary of the historic Bale Grist Mill!

We’re celebrating the milestone anniversary of this historic landmark with a free event on Saturday July 10 and free tours of the Bale Mill courtesy of the Napa Valley State Parks Association. This is a moment to mark the anniversary, the restoration of the water wheel that was completed over the past year, and to honor some of the local people who have dedicated so much of their time, talent, and expertise to keep this piece of living history in good working order and accessible.

Join us at 9:30am at the park to celebrate our honorees and the mill itself, then stick around for tours of this historic grist mill.
