On October 23, 1998, the day after the mill was badly damaged by an arsonist, I posted some photos of the fire and remains on the website of the nearby Manassas National Battlefield Park, which I was then webmaster for. On October 3, 2003, I created this site for the Turn The Mill Around Campaign. I managed the site until April 2011, when I moved away from the area, turning the site over to the Campaign. In January 2020, I noticed that the mill's website was no longer active, so have decided to post this materal for the historical information contained within. I have updated a few pages to remove some expired content but left the bulk of materials as it appeared when I turned the site over to the Campaign.
Update: August 28, 2020. Chapman's mill now has a new website, such as it is. Please visit them at chapmansmill.org Please do not contact me with questions about the mill. Refer to their Facebook page instead. Also known as Beverly Mill
