Aldie Mill Historic District, Historic district in Aldie, United States

The Aldie Mill Historic District contains a large water-powered mill with two iron wheels and multiple buildings for grain processing and storage.

Built in 1809, the mill processed wheat and corn from Loudoun, Fauquier, and Prince William counties, becoming a central economic hub in northern Virginia.

The mill's name originates from the Mercer family's ancestral home in Perthshire, Scotland, reflecting the early Scottish influence in Virginia's development.

The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority maintains the site, offering guided tours and demonstrations of traditional milling processes throughout the year.

During the Civil War, Union soldiers attempted to hide in the mill's wheat bins, but Colonel Mosby's men discovered them covered in white flour.
