The Kennedy-Wade Mill, or Wade's Mill, is located in Raphine, Virginia and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built c. 1750 by Captain Joseph Kennedy. The Kennedys operated it until 1881, when a fire shut it down for a year. It was bought by James F. Wade, repaired, and put back into use in November 1882. The Wade family continued to operate it for four generations. It was bought in 1993 by Jim Young, and is still functioning today. The mill grinds flour using millstones and a 21-foot overshot water wheel. The flour is shipped to restaurants and livestock farmers.
