Built in 1846, this water-powered mill served Napa Valley's farmers who brought their wheat grain and dried corn to the mill to be ground into flour and meal. Bale Grist Mill has one of the largest waterwheels in the country and still mills grain the old-fashioned way! Visitors can take home organic wheat flour, cornmeal or polenta. Come enjoy what was once a vital part of rural life!

For a small fee you get a wonderful tour and presentation of how the pioneers of California supplemented their meals with baked goods. the presentation includes the history and workings of the mill and a live demonstration of the milling process. Be sure to stay on the path from the parking lot to the mill because the surrounding woods are full of poison oak. Not to worry, just keep on the straight and narrow. Before you leave, pick up a bag of souvenir flour ground on site, take it home and back some bread or a pie you will be amazed at the flavor and freshness. I obtained some to bake a pie with local Gravenstein apples, what a treat!

Good for Napa. On a nice day, no need to drive from downtown to Oxbow. Enjoy the walk. Take First St. one direction; Third St. the other. If you are dining at Stone Brewing, you will need to park across the railroad tracks the cross the Third St. bridge.

Every Friday during the Summer months, the Downtown Napa organization presents a function called "Music in the Park" from about 7 to 10 in the Veterans Memorial Park venue. While we were there, three local bands performed for a total of about 3 hours. The locals bring their chairs, blankets, and some even bring food and drink. Everyone seems to have a great time and this appears to be a fine opportunity for the town folk to get together. Should you find yourself in the City of Napa during a Summer Friday, I'd recommend you go there for a touch of local flavor.
