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.

    The charred ruins of the old flour mill whisper of a bygone era, while the restored miller's house offers a quiet retreat

    So glad to hear the home is available to folks looking for a peaceful respite these days. Sorry there's not much left of the mill.

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