Colvin
Run Mill consists of an early 19th century operating grist mill,
miller's house, general store, and dairy barn. The mill,
which has been restored, was probably built after 1811 on
the site of an older mill. The gears and machinery are
made almost entirely of wood, and it is representative of
the commercial mills that ground grain for both market
and local home use. The miller’s house is next to
the mill. The mill park also includes a country store,
post office, and blacksmith shop. Owned and operated by
the Fairfax County Park Authority.
Open: Open daily March
through December except Tuesdays. Admission:
Free
