Along the North River in Mount Crawford

Near Harrisonburg


The remains of an old flour mill still stand beside the river. The mill burned in 1962. It had been five stories high and had three water wheels and dated to the 1870s.

The  miller’s house has been restored and is used as a vacation rental.

  9. What a lovely spot for guests to enjoy themselves. Sad, that the Old Mill wasn't restored. It is what it is.
