The Turley Mill and Distillery Site is a historic site on the Rio Hondo about 11 miles (18 km) north of Taos, New Mexico. It was a mill and distillery which served as the headquarters of Simeon Turley's commercial and manufacturing empire.[2] Simeon Turley (1809-1847) and his brothers Stephen Turley (1786-1851) and Jesse B. Turley (1801-1861) transported goods from Franklin, Missouri to Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico via wagon train on the Santa Fe Trail.[3] The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
