The Cleveland Roller Mill is the only flour mill of its size and type that has been restored to operating condition (for demonstration purposes) in the southwestern United States.

In 1910 over 500,000 bushels of wheat were produced in the county. This history is explained in the Mill Museum’s exhibits that provide an historical overview of north central New Mexico, emphasizing the wheat farming and milling industry that existed in Mora County until World War II.
