Colvin Run Mill is an historical Virginia landmark in Great
Falls. It was built in the 1800's. Farmers brought their corn and
wheat for the miller to grind into flour and cornmeal using water
power. It has a wooden water wheel and gristmill that is still used
today. It was reconstructed in 1996 and is now operated by the Park
Service. You can visit the mill, the miller's house, the blacksmith
shop, the post office, and the country store. You can also feed the
ducks and have a picnic on the grounds.
Colvin Run Mill is located along Route 7. For an admission fee,
you can enjoy some of our history in action by taking a guided tour.
