Plains Mill, located on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River in Rockingham County, Virginia, is a well-preserved merchant mill that illustrates a continuous evolution in milling technology from original construction in 1847-1849 through the 1950s. The boldly flowing spring that powered the mill's wheel first attracted millers as early as the colonial period. In 184 7-1849, Dr. Solomon Henkel and his son, Siram, replaced an earlier mill with the present timber- frame building which rises an impressive five stories above the river. Siram Henkel's extensive papers document the construction process on a nearly daily basis and identity the many craftsmen involved in the work, such as frame builder Isaac May, mason Jeremiah Clemmens, millwrights, painters, and others. Many original features survive, including Dutch doors hung on decorative strap hinges and the massive husk frame that supported the gearing. In the early twentieth century, the mill was converted to the roller milling process and it preserves a wealth of specialized equipment from the period. The construction of terra-cotta block grain bins ca. 1923, and of cinder block and frame feed mill, machine shop, and warehouse additions and a separate office in the 1940s and 1950s, round out the mill's historic evolution. Plains Mill is locally significant under Criterion A in the area of Industry as a well-preserved example of an evolved nineteenth- and twentieth-century merchant mill. The mill also is locally significant under Criterion C in the area of Architecture for its retention of numerous architectural and technological features from the period of significance, which extends from original construction beginning in 184 7 through the construction of the separate office ca. 1959.

Heaven for me is a market – from Salamanca in the middle of a chilly Hobart winter, to a steamy day at Eumundi Market on the Sunshine Coast, nothing beats trawling around, sampling the food, digging through stalls to find something unique and brilliant and simply breathing in the atmosphere. Bless, bless, bless Vanessa Johnson, who, with her husband Joel has seized the opportunity to bring a country market to her home in Balnarring.
