Waugh Flour Mills
Four flour mills were constructed near Wellsburg in the early 1800s. The first of these mills 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. This mill was owned and operated by James, David and Ashley Waugh until 1924. It was destroyed by fire in 1931.
