Causey's Mill is a historic grist mill located in Causey's Mill Park at Newport News, Virginia. It was built in 1866, and is a small two-story wood frame building originally supported by a brick and concrete foundation. It retains its original machinery and is one of the two last surviving grist mills on the Peninsula. The mill operated until nearly the 20th century.[3] In 2011, the mill was moved about 75 feet from its original location away from the shore of Lake Maury and set on a new foundation.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
