The Grafton Flour Mill is a historic mill on the Milwaukee River in Grafton, Wisconsin, United States. The original section was built in 1846 by a group of Yankee farmers as a flour mill and produced flour for many years through a succession of owners, including White Lily Flour in the 1880s. During the depression it was bought by Badger Worsted Mills, and served as a woolen mill.[1][2] It remained as such until the 1960s. Currently, the building houses a yarn store and a personal wellness center. On June 30, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
