Little known fact based on Locals. Not only is Microsoft bldg a $500M Data plant in (Southern) Boydton, Virginia they're buying up all the housing in Mecklenburg n surrounding counties. A plant that will only employ 50 people when completed! Only bring temporary construction employment to the area.

Meadow Run Grist Mill - Michie Tavern
Meadow Run Grist Mill ca 1797
Michie Tavern and General Store
The General Store located in the Meadow Run Grist Mill ca. 1797
More than anything else, the mill stands as a symbol of America’s growth. Gristmills, powered by wind or water, ground grain into flour for life-sustaining bread as well as feed for animals.
Michie Tavern dismantled this 1797 mill from nearby Laurel Hill, Virginia, numbered each piece and then transported it by truck more than 50 miles so that it could be reconstructed here. The painstaking restoration required two and a half years.
