I just wanted to let everyone know that they are letting the public check out the renovations so far on Chapman's Mill, which is an old and historic mill in Prince William County, near Haymarket, VA. The date will be 07/08/06. This will be the first time the mill has been open to the general public for years, so go down and check it out if possible. Here's the info:
Beverley/ Chapman’s Mill Offering Tours of Stabilization Project
Cintec, the English firm stabilizing the walls of Beverley/Chapman’s Mill is offering free tours to the public to view the work ongoing at the mill on Saturday, July 8, 2006 from 9 AM to 3 PM. Cintec staff will show how they use the internal anchor system to stabilize the walls of the mill. The anchors are steel rods that are encased in heavy fabric mesh that is filled with concrete. These are inserted into the holes made by drilling into the corners of the mill, and from the top to the bottom of the walls. For more details of this process please view chapmansmill.org.
ALL VISITORS MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD OR OLDER. CHILDREN WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ENTER THE PREMISES. ALL VISTORS WILL BE ASKED TO SIGN A WAIVER OF LIABILITY. In addition, visitors are asked to bring hard hats and safety goggles if possible. Please bring your own drinking water as well.
This is an unique opportunity to observe a difficult and challenging project to save the walls of the Beverley/Chapman’s Mill, circa 1742, on the Prince William/Fauquier County line off I-66 and Rt. 55 in Broad Run. This mill is the tallest stone building in the U.S. whose walls are being preserved by Turn The Mill Around Campaign, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve and interpret the site to the public.
To reach the mill from Northern Virginia, exit off of I-66 at Haymarket and take Rt. 55 west. After crossing the railroad tracks in Thoroughfare, take the next right, which is Turner Rd., which crosses over I-66. Take an immediate left onto Beverley Mill Rd. and proceed to the end of the road (approximately 1 mile). Park where indicated and walk to the mill. To reach the mill from the west, take I-66 to The Plains and exit onto Rt. 55. Proceed 4 miles east on Rt. 55 and take a left on Turner Rd. Take an immediate left onto Beverley Mill Rd. after crossing over I-66. Go west on Beverley Mill Rd. until it dead-ends at the mill.
