This is a great place to visit. There is so much history. The tour guy Mario is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to tell you stories as long as you are interested and have the time. We spent 1 1/2 hours there. Time well spent.

This is a little gem of a historic site. There's a trail, restrooms and an old water mill that is still operational. You can buy tour tickets (and souvenirs) in the little exhibit room. Not sure if the tour guides are all like the one we had, but he was a blast. A retired engineer who knows his mill tech and loves to explain everything from the history to the mechanics. He definitely turned what is probably a very dry tour into an educational and engaging one.

Neat spot! Slightly over run with loud tourist on the weekend. If you make it up to the mill, it's more peaceful and there is more wildlife. Around 1.5 mile mildly challenging hike. $8 to park for the day.

Unique state mill in Napa. We shot their Virtual Tour, and the whole team was friendly and kind. Very tranquil setting. Hiking trails in the back. Fun to see how the "old days" used to function. Rare place to experience.

Is the Inn still there?

Hi Linda, as far as we know, there has never been an inn on the mill's property. If you have a bit more detail, we may be able to help track down the inn you're thinking of.

Are you open this Mon.28th

Hi Ernie, the Bale Mill is still closed because of Covid restrictions. We're hoping to open very soon.

Is there hiking trails at the park?

With the horrible wildfires in the valley, I am wondering if this historic site has been saved.
