This Shenandoah Valley landmark is mentioned on Civil War Traveler as follows:
Edinburg Mill, two Trails signs in the parking lot of the mill on Route 11 – This mill, opened in 1850, survived the burnings ordered in late September and early October 1864 by Union Gen. Philip Sheridan. More than two years earlier Confederates used Stony Creek (which provided the mill's power) as a defensive line. A sharp battle on the line near the mill in late March 1862 delayed a Federal advance on the Valley Pike.
