Zirkle Mill Will Not Come to Staunton Save Email Print

Although the Zirkle Mill will not be making the voyage to Staunton, the Frontier Culture Museum supports the governor's decision.

The museum had intended the Zirkle Mill to be part of its future Montgomery Springs Village.

The museum's executive director, John Avoli, said the project will forge ahead, and the museum already has a list of other mill options.

He says thousands of visitors would have been able to see the Zirkle Mill here as opposed to keeping it in Forestville.

But at this point the museum just hopes the mill will be treated with tender loving care.

"Our interest now is in the mill and the preservation of the mill," Avoli explained. "It would have been nice to have it here but the governor has made a decision. I think it's a proper decision and we have no problem with it."

Avoli said the museum will help whoever ends up with the mill to keep it in tip-top condition.
