Wall Street Mill Details
The Wall Street Mill was a gold-ore crushing mill that utilized technology from the 19th century despite operating in the 1930s-60s. Ore from area mines, such as the Desert Queen Mine, was processed here. Much of the milling equipment and buildings remain and can be seen by park visitors who follow a 2.2-mile trail that begins near the Barker Dam Nature Trail. You'll also find the remains of several old cars and a windmill.
