🚨 Chapman-Beverley Mill is at Risk 🚨

VDOT’s I-66 bridge replacement plan threatens the tallest surviving stacked stone gristmill in the U.S, a nationally recognized historic and cultural landmark.

If this proposal moves forward in its current state, our community could lose a site that generations have fought to preserve.

🛑 Increased risk of destabilization
🛑 Encroachment on historic site
🛑 Millions in preservation work undone

✍️ Sign our petition today to urge VDOT to pause and pursue a solution that protects our history:

May their memory be a blessing.
