National Register of Historic Places Inventory---Nomination Form

The historic district is representative of early-industrial development, with fine examples of both domestic and industrial architecture. Located on an important 19th century route between Baltimore and Pennsylvania, which later became the first rural free delivery (RFD) route. The most important historical episode associated with Union Mills occurred in June 1863. Like the population of Maryland as a whole, the Shriver family was divided by the Civil War. On June 30, 1863, General J.E.B. Stuart of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia camped at Union Mills and was hosted by part of the Shriver family. On the following day, General James Barnes of the 5th Corps of the Army of the Potomac arrived on the site and welcomed and entertained by other members of the family.
