Cleveland Roller Mill - Mora, New Mexico - Museum of Flour Milling History

The Cleveland Roller Mill is a three-story, adobe building that has been used for milling flour since the end of the 19th century. It ran continuously for commercial production until the early 1940s. Today, the water-powered historic flourmill is open to the public as museum. Still operated for demonstration purposes, it is the only mill of its size and kind restored to running condition in the Southwest.

The Cleveland Roller Mill Museum preserves northeastern New Mexico's history of milling through photographs, documents and physical exhibits. A molino grist mill, dating back to the 17th century and on loan from the Palace of the Governors in Sante Fe, can also be seen on grounds.

Each year the Cleveland Roller Mill is the site of the area's annual MillFest on Labor Day weekend, organized by the Historic Mora Valley Foundation and Mora Valley Chamber of Commerce. The two-day celebration features dozens of local artists, dance exhibitions, native foods and baked goods, and musical entertainment.
