Saint Vrain’s Mill

This stone building is one of the finest examples of the water-powered flour mills established along the Mora River in the mid-nineteenth century. This mill was constructed about 1864. It is one of several built by Ceran St. Vrain, a French Canadian who came to New Mexico in the 1820s. St. Vrain was one of the region’s most prominent merchants when he died in Mora in 1870.
