White's Mill is a historic grist mill located near Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia. It dates to the mid-19th century, and is a frame two-story structure resting on a down slope basement with a full attic sheltered by a gable roof. It has a Fitz waterwheel and great gear wheel, buhr runs, roller mills, elevators and bolting machinery. Associated with the mill are the contributing earthen race which feeds directly into the wooden race and onto the wheel and an early coursed rubble limestone dam.[3] The mill remains in working condition.
