Edinburg Mill, Cultural heritage museum in Edinburg, US
Edinburg Mill is a three-story building made of wood built on a limestone foundation, situated along Stony Creek. The structure extends on both sides of the stream and now houses a museum displaying historical objects and equipment.
The structure was built in 1848 by the Grandstaff family to replace an earlier facility from 1813. The original site included a sawmill, grain mill, and carding operation for textile work.
The building carries the Grandstaff family name, who established and operated it for generations. Visitors can see old machinery and tools that show how people once processed grain and prepared textiles.
The entrance is easily accessible from the parking area, and the interior spans multiple levels with stairs throughout. Wear comfortable shoes as you will navigate several floors to see all the exhibits.
During the Civil War, local women saved the building from destruction by persuading Union soldiers under General Philip Sheridan to put out their fire. This dramatic episode shows the crucial role civilians played in preserving local landmarks.
