**PLAN A:** Buy a commercial mower.

**PLAN B:** Mow 6 acres like it's 1790. 😳🌾

Our volunteers are REALLY hoping you choose Plan A.

White's Mill maintains approximately six acres of historic grounds—and our little mower is on its last leg.

We're raising funds for dependable mowing equipment and secure storage so our volunteers can spend less time fighting the grass and more time preserving history.

🌾 $5 helps.
🌾 $25 helps.
🌾 $100 helps.
🌾 Sharing this post helps, too!

**Help White's Mill Preserve 6 Acres of History.**

Well, that was one heck of a storm that came through yesterday. I'll have to see how our creekbanks look after this one.
I think mother nature is making up for a dry spring.

This is a remarkable article by Appalachian Highlands Farmers Magazine. Thank you for sharing our story. Preserving history is a wonderful thing.

Step inside White's Mill near Abingdon, Virginia, and see how water, gravity, gears, belts, and elevators worked together as an early automated production system.

I wish I knew where this was.

Take a look at how the sifter on the second floor works! It’s always exciting to see another historic mill still operating and preserving the traditions of the past. Come visit White’s Mill and see our machinery, waterwheel, and milling history come to life!
We’re open Friday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
