Murray's Mill Historic District is a preserved milling complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places, set along the banks of Balls Creek in eastern Catawba County, North Carolina — about ten minutes from I-40. The site centers on a 28-foot waterwheel and a mill pond whose waters slip over a historic dam, creating a landscape that has remained largely intact since the mill last operated in the mid-twentieth century. Several period structures span from the 1880s through 1913: the mill itself, the Murray & Minges General Store, the Wheathouse — now used as an exhibit gallery — the John Murray House furnished to the period, and numerous outbuildings. The Historical Association of Catawba County has stewarded the site since restoration began in 1980 and opened the district to the public in 1988. The grounds serve as a backdrop for weddings and private events, where the pond, dam, and working waterwheel provide a setting unchanged by the surrounding countryside.
