It is located on the historic great valley pike (US-11), the Shenandoah river and the nearby railroad. There is also a Visitor Center. The Edinburg/Madison District museum has been relocated to the Mill and countless additional exhibits have been added to display artifacts that demonstrate the rich local history of this agricultural area. There are exhibits on the Civil War, as well as on the nation's first Civilian Conservation Camp, which was established just outside Edinburg. There are also exhibits on Military attire, fashions, Red Cross,farming,Indians, trains,cameras,butchering and area businesses of yesteryear.
