Parker Mill County Park, together with the City of Ann Arbor's Forest Park, is a 45-acre tract of mostly wooded land that encompasses the tail end of Fleming Creek, including its mouth, where it joins the Huron River. The historic operating grist mill is one of the highlights of the park.
Built in 1873, Parker Mill is one of the historic treasures in Washtenaw County. The grist mill is operable and contains original milling machinery left inside the mill when the Parker family ceased operation in 1958. The mill is open for public tours on select Sundays in the fall, and group tours are available by appointment May through October.
We are looking for volunteers to assist with Mill tours (alongside staff). Volunteers will be trained on the history of Parker Mill and the grist mill in order to communicate with park visitors.
