Meytre Grist Mill at McGalliard Falls - Photo by Tais Captures

Built in 1906 by Fred Meytre, the Meytre Grist Mill was in operation until 1941 when Mr. Meytre became too old to operate the mill without the assistance of younger men who had all been called to fight in the war. Conservation efforts by the city of Valdese converted the area into a park, and the town rebuilt the mill in 1982. The park is now a photogenic and very picturesque setting for photographers and well worth a visit. (Valdese, North Carolina, USA)
