Mingus Mill is a working, water-powered gristmill that was built in 1886 and located a half-mile north of the Oconaluftee Visitor Center at Greater Smoky Mountains NP. The mill uses a water-powered turbine instead of a water wheel to power all of the machinery in the building, and at the time of its development, was a considered a state-of-the-art gristmill
