Description
Daniel Morgan, one of the most talented and successful of America's generals during the Revolutionary War, joined forces with transplanted Tidewater patrician Nathaniel Burwell to form a business partnership in the early 1780s. Morgan, placed in command of Hessian prisoners of war from the Battle of Saratoga who were being held in Winchester, used those captives to build a grist mill in Frederick County, in the area that would become the village of Millwood in Clarke County, Virginia. The two men operated the venture successfully for a number of years and the mill became a center of commerce in the region. This gristmill was in continuous operation until 1943.
