WASHINGTON MILL, located just east of Washington on the Rush River has been included in the Virginia Historic Landmarks register, the official list of properties worthy of preservation. The mill served as the town mill of Washington until the end of the 19th century. Built circa 1800 with subsequent additions in 1800 and 1860, the mill retains much of its antebellum machinery in good repair. It is believed to have served as a neutral bartering place between Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
