Waugh Flour Mills

Four flour mills were constructed near Wellsburg in the early 1800s. The first was built by John Moore in 1800. Moore's son-in-law, Richard Waugh, built the old stone mill in 1824 and the upper mill in 1835. A. M. Buchanan built the fourth mill in 1847. James, David, and Ashley Waugh owned and operated this mill until 1924, and it was destroyed by fire in 1931.
