Kennedy-Wade Mill

Kennedy-Wade Mill

The Kennedy-Wade Mill, or Wade's Mill, is located in Raphine, Virginia and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built c. 1750 by Captain Joseph Kennedy. The Kennedy's operated it until 1881, when a fire shut it down for a year. It was bought by James F. Wade, repaired, and put back into use in November 1882. It continued to run for four generations, until the last owner decided to retire without having any children. It was bought in 1993 by Jim Young, and is still functioning today. The mill grinds flour using millstones and a 21-foot overshot water wheel. The flour is shipped to restaurants and livestock farmers.
