Step inside one of Northern Virginia’s most remarkable historic landmarks at Aldie Mill Historic Park. Constructed between 1807 and 1809, this beautifully restored merchant mill once stood as the largest gristmill in Loudoun County. Nestled in the heart of the historic Village of Aldie, the mill is powered by rare tandem overshot waterwheels and remains the only publicly accessible example of its kind in Virginia, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the region’s industrial past.

And this August its stone cellar becomes the set for Misery!
