Description
The old fashioned gristmill, mostly relying on waterpower, dotted America's countryside during the 18th and 19th centuries. With hundreds of local streams, Virginia had its share mills, supported by local farming communities. The local mill, often seen as the center of the community, became a meeting place for the latest news and gossip.
Powered by a classic overshot wheel, White's Mill began milling grain in the 1790s. Here in Washington County, Abrams Creek provided all the necessary power to produce flour throughout the year. Complete with a mill kitty cat and squeaking floor boards, the mill still provides a variety of flours and cornmeal.
