Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
COLVIN RUN MILL is located at 10017 Colvin Run Road in Great Falls. Nestled between Tysons Corner and Reston, Colvin Run Mill is an early 19th century operating gristmill. The old Miller's House features an exhibit about the process of milling and the families who operated the mill. Another exhibit in the renovated 20th-century dairy barn features the history of the Great Falls community around the mill.
Restored in 1972, Colvin Run Mill is an award-winning restoration and a Virginia landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It offers daily tours, educational programs, special events, and outdoor concerts. The mill operates on a regular basis. You can picnic on the grounds, feed the ducks, and learn about America's technological roots. Also on the grounds is the Colvin Run Mill General Store. It originally served the local community and continues to function today as a sales shop offering penny candy, freshly ground cornmeal and wheat flour, and an array of old-fashioned goods.
