While checking on another cache, J&J stopped to read about the Tale of Two Mills.

During the Civil War, two mills stood on the Rush River in this vicinity on the property of John Jett, who resided at Ellerslie half a mile south of here. They included the Avon Mill before you, and the Jett Mill (no longer standing), located half a mile down stream. According to local tradition, this mill became a neutral trading site for Union and Confederate soldiers, who periodically declared "soldiers' truces" and met between the lines to trade for coffee, tobacco, newspapers and other items. At that time, the road on which this huge mill stands was part of the Warrenton and Rappahannock Turnpike, the major east-west route.

More interesting info can be found on the Virginia Civil War Trails sign.

Please replace the cache as found.

No fussing about the cords...I use an IPhone. LOL

The hint will tell you where it is :)
