Burwell-Morgan Mill to Host Restoration Celebration August 15

Published

on

One of Clarke County’s most treasured landmarks will be the center of community celebration on Friday, Aug. 15, when the Burwell-Morgan Mill welcomes guests for an evening of history, craft, and camaraderie.

From 6 to 8 p.m., visitors can tour the 18th-century gristmill, explore the newly restored historic dam, and enjoy spirits crafted with grains milled on site, paired with appetizers from local culinary artists. Costumed craftspeople — including a weaver, seamstress, and woodturners — will offer live demonstrations, bringing the Mill’s story to life.

The event marks the completion of a restoration project for the Mill’s dam, made possible by an appropriation from the Virginia General Assembly. Organizers say the project safeguards a vital piece of local heritage and ensures the Mill can continue operating as a living museum for future generations.

Admission is free, and all are welcome. While RSVPs are not required, organizers encourage attendees to email info@deloresfordelegate.com to help with planning.

The Burwell-Morgan Mill is located at 15 Tannery Lane in Millwood.
