The Burwell-Morgan MillThe Burwell-Morgan Mill was built in 1785 and at one time, ground more than300,000 pounds of flour and meal a year. Today it is a record of the production ofwheat in Clarke County, Virginia and the northern Shenandoah Valley. The mill isin Millwood, a town once filled with factories and shops. Wagons brought grain tothe mill, and transported barrels of flour it ground to the nearby Shenandoah Riverwhere flatboats carried them to the port at Alexandria,Virginia. There the flour was loaded on ships and sentto cities around the world. The mill operated constantly- day and night, seven days per week. Other industriesgrew up around the Mill to help with the work – coopersmade barrels, wagon builders constructed and repairedwagons. Working in the fields to plant, raise and harvestthe grain, in the mill to process it into flour, and astrained craftsmen in the factories and stores that grew uparound it, enslaved men and women were at the center Where is the waterof this system. During the Civil War, local roads carried wheel?both Union and Confederate armies past the mill. Both Inside!

R.R. Smith Center for History and Art In 1891, a Union Civil War veteran named Thomas Jasper Collins fromWashington, D.C., arrived in Staunton to play a key role in shaping thecity’s economic recovery. Collins’ family had been involved in designingand constructing buildings for more than 60 years and after the war the young veteran easily moved into the family business. Collins designed more than 200 public and private buildings, including (with his son Sam) the elegant C&O station at the Wharf. The station, which opened in 1906, symbolized Staunton’s meteoric rise from the depths of the Civil War. Staunton, like much of the South, struggled to recover from the devastating effectsof the Civil War. After 1865, its recovery was closely tied to the rebuilding andexpansion of the railroads. The Chesapeake & Ohio and the Baltimore & OhioRailroads crossed in Staunton and dozens of passenger and freight trains passedthrough the city daily heading to every point on the compass. Recovery From the War Color this architectural drawing made by T.J. Collins (Collins pictured above right) of the C&O Station.Use the color photograph as a guide, but feel free,however, to release the inner designer in you andexperiment with other colors as well! The Smith Center is housed in what was originally the EakletonHotel, an elegant railroad hotel designed by Collins that opened in1894.
