Tour Information

If you qualify for the group rate, you will be assigned a costumed docent at no charge who will conduct your group through the following:

• A brief walking tour of the mill grounds (weather permitting)
• A corn grinding demonstration
• The Underground Railroad exhibit
• The upper two floors where there are period room settings of the Civil War era and volunteers dressed in costume demonstrating spinning and weaving techniques.

There is a $25.00 fee to reserve a docent for groups of less than 20.

Although visits generally require at least one and one-half hours we will be happy to modify the length and content of your tour if you have more time to spend. We can accommodate no more than 125 students in one time slot and recommend that the students be divided into groups of 20-25. Please be on time for your visit as we usually have more than one group per day and wish to accommodate everyone’s schedule. If you are late we may have to shorten or eliminate some of the tour.

We have a gift shop with many items suitable for children. If you plan time for students to shop please let us know. Some schools place an advance order for souvenir bags of corn meal. These contain one cup of corn meal, enough to make any of the recipes in our brochure. Cost is $1.50 per bag.

Graue Mill and Museum is located at York and Spring Roads in Oak Brook and the parking area is located just east of the mill. The Forest Preserve District maintains rest rooms at the east-end of the parking area. Picnic areas are available on the grounds and at Fullersburg Nature Center located ½ mile west of the Mill. We suggest you contact the Center in advance if you desire to reserve the picnic facilities on your scheduled visit. (630-850-8110)
