  Antiques and the Arts Online - George Washington's Gristmill Grinds After 200 Years
Although the original gristmill structure no longer exists, in 1993 the Commonwealth of Virginia reconstructed Washington's mill on the original site, based on a combination of documentary and archaeological evidence and opened its doors to the public.
After further cleaning, the sacks of grain are delivered to the gristmill to be ground into flour and packed in barrels.
The total cost of the gristmill project including restoring the millworks, installing a water circulating system to power the mill wheel, fabricating and installing the Evans system and adding parking and other conveniences to support the anticipated increase in visitation will be approximately $1.2 million.

 Interactive Dig Mt. Vernon - Archaeological Survey & Testing of Gristmill Park
The Commonwealth of Virginia had owned the seven-acre property of Washington's gristmill, distillery, and cooperage since 1932 and had operated it as a rather sleepy historical site.
Soon after agreeing to restore the 1930s reconstruction of George Washington's 1770 gristmill, Mount Vernon began to contemplate changes to the property to accommodate increased visitors a working mill would attract.
Through careful excavation combined with historical and comparative research, we hoped to discover more about the appearance of the structure, the layout of the equipment within the structure, and how the distillery operated, but it would be almost two years before we could return to begin our excavation.
