As an aficionado of old mills I enjoyed seeing that. Lately my mill
photos have been of mill dams where the mill proper is long gone.
Garst Mill in Cave Spring, Roanoke Co., VA, was built on Mud Lick Creek
about 1820, and only the last rebuild of the mill dam remains (Pentax
K-70, Pentax-DA 18-270mm at 26mm, f/8, ISO 6400, 1/200 sec):

Price's Mill in Newport, Giles Co., VA, was built on Sinking Creek in
1810, was converted to a small hydro power facility in 1928, and burned
in 1965 leaving the mill dam and pond (Pentax K-70, Pentax-DA 18-270mm
at 18mm, f/7.1, ISO 6400, 1/250 sec):

A number of antebellum mills operated in downtown Narrows, Giles Co.,
VA, on Wolf Creek. The mills are long gone, but the mill dam
(reconstructed in 1986) and pond remain. The pond is now home to ducks
and geese and the centerpiece of a town park (Pentax K-70, Pentax-DA
18-270mm at 18mm, f/7.1, ISO 6400, 1/400 sec):
