Mitchell Mill was originally a two story structure built of oak and walnut. With the mill, Steve Mitchell provided ground corn and ginned cotton from 1900 until 1928. After Mr. Mitchell died, his family sold the property to the Forest Service.
The rock foundation and walls were added by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1942. Exquisite rock work is the hallmark of the CCC, a post Depression program to put young men to work. Their plan was to restore the mill to an operational condition, but the work was interrupted when the CCC was disbanded at the onset of World War II.

There's a little more effort involved in getting to the Mill in the winter because parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway are closed and you have to make quite a detour and with snow, four wheel drive is recommended, but it is worth the extra time it takes to get here!

A morning walk around Babbs Mill Lake on Christmas Day in the Kingfisher Country Park.
Starting from near Kingshurst in Solihull then towards Shard End in Birmingham and back.
Babbs Mill Lake is a man-made lake located in the Kingfisher Country Park in the Kingshurst area of Solihull, England. The lake was created as a balancing feature in times of flooding from the River Cole which is located nearby.
The lake gives its name to Babbs Mill Park, which was created to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. It was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002.
In March 2016, Solihull Council's planning committee approved a scheme to build 52 houses on land amounting to approximately seven per cent of the reserve.
Since August 2019, Babbs Mill Lake has hosted a parkrun, a free, weekly timed 5 km run/walk, every Saturday morning at 9am.
The abandoned Fruen Mill located along Bassett Creek, was originally built in 1894 (most of the existing structures dating back to the 1920's). The mill was sold to Conagra in 1971, previously the first producer of breakfast cereals in Minneapolis. The Fruen family also owned Glenwood Inglewood until 1990--their spring still providing water for the Utepils Brewery next door.
It has been a unique destination in North Minneapolis for urban explores/trespassers for a number of years. There have been several injuries here, as well, and at least four deaths. But, the views of the city are quite breath-taking if you are inclined to risk the clime and penalties.

The beam is finished by following the scribed lines with a carving saw. The 4x4 inch, 7 metre beam has been produced from a single tree, using only equipment you can carry into the wood. Now you just have to carry it all out again! This is where a horse rather than a springer spaniel would help.
The current mill built in 1886 by Sion Early, a millwright from VA, for six hundred dollars.actually replaced a worn out mill powered by a waterwheel, built n the 1790's by the Mingus family, who owned it until in the 1930's when the National Park acquired it.

This linseed oil mill dates to about 1790 and can be found at Prallsville, in Hunterdon County, NJ. Today it as used as an art gallery for the Delaware River Mill Society, which has restored the Prallsville site. Prallsville and Stockton are neighbors, and Stockton also has many old stone buildings like this mill.
Burnt Mills Reservoir. Run off usually slow and goes directly under Colesville Rd. (Rt. 29), but with the epic torrential rains we’ve had lately it has flooded OVER that main artery in spots. This despite major renovation to the road there to deal with flooding recently.
This four and one-half story mill was constructed in 1860 at a cost of $40,000. It had a capacity of 160 barrels of flour per day. By the 1880s, the mill produced 240 barrels of flour per day. It currently houses Oncken's Machine Shop.
I'll bet that every part of this mill has been replaced at least once since it was built in 1868, which raises a philosophical question: when is a structure no longer the original?

This mill was built in 1909 to house the American Woolen Company. It now has a New Balance shoe assembly plant in it, but I don't think that takes up all this space. Parts of it are probably vacant, and I think all of it was vacant for many years. The clock tower (with a clock face second in size only to Big Ben, among all clock towers in the world) has become an icon of the city of Lawrence.
