About

Brightwell's Mill has been a staple of the Lynchburg area since before the 1820's, having been rebuilt in the August of 1942 following historical flooding, which breached the dam, and destroyed most of the mill. Since its establishment, it has served the farmers of the surrounding counties, namely Amherst and Nelson, with completely water powered, stone ground flour and mixed feed; hoping to carry on the history of the mill and to help remind people of a simpler time, when men survived off of the Earth's bounty.
