Today, it houses a museum in addition to its mill operations.[2][3] The Wye Oak (Maryland's honorary state tree, which was destroyed on a June 6, 2002 by a severe thunderstorm), was located in Wye Mills. The Old Wye Church or St. Lukes is the only Anglican church that is dated back the 18th century in Talbot County. The church opened in 1712.[4] The Wye House is a plantation mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places, dating back to between 1780 and 1790.

Historical eventsWye AccordsAfter the failure of the Oslo Accords of 1993 to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, former President Bill Clinton held a summit in Wye Mills in October 1998. Both King Hussein of Jordan and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat attended the summit. Several issues were settled, however some of the main issues, like boundaries, were left unresolved and remained sources of conflict.[7] Elián GonzálezFor a short time, Elián González and his family resided in Wye Mills during the Elián González affair of 2000. González was at the center of a controversy involving parental custody and Cuban-American relations. After Elián was reunited with his father, the two were sheltered from the media at the remote Wye River Plantation while other relatives attempted to acquire visitation rights and the legal battle intensified.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|591615|Wye Mills}} {{Talbot County, Maryland}}{{TalbotCountyMD-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Wye Grist Mill|url=http://www.oldwyemill.org/|accessdate=15 May 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Old Wye Mill|url=http://www.historicqac.org/sites/WMgristmill.htm|publisher=Historic Sites Consortium of Queen Anne's County|accessdate=15 May 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Weeks|first=Christopher|title=Where Land and Water Interwine|year=1984|publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press|location=Baltimore|page=45}} 5. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/listings/20101230.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places Listings|date=2010-12-30|work=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 12/20/10 through 12/23/10|publisher=National Park Service}} 7. ^Wye Accord 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0004/26/bn.02.html |title=CNN Transcript - Breaking News: Elian Gonzalez Case: Father Files Motion Requesting Appeals Court Recognize Him as Only One Able to Speak For His Son |publisher=CNN |date=April 26, 2000 |author= |accessdate=January 31, 2016}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Maryland|Unincorporated communities in Talbot County, Maryland |
