Colvin Run Mill, Great Falls, Virginia






Before we went to the Great Falls National Park, Virginia, we did stop by the "Colvin Run Mill, Great Falls, Virginia". It is still in working order & they to make all sort of products. There is a fee to see inside the mill. We walked around outside for these pics. So fun!!! taken on our quick day trip on April 27th. Beth ( :

Such a unique place and glad to see it is still in operation. There is a place here in Texas that has an operating mill and they make unbelievable good oatmeal!
