Cabell's Mill - 5235 Walney Road - Centreville, VA 20151

Cabell's Mill

Located in the wooded acres of Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Cabell's Mill has long been a unique setting for social occasions. Built in 1785 and operated as a mill until 1916, Cabell's Mill was purchased in 1935 by David and Ellanor Lawrence. The Lawrences transformed the old mill into a reception hall and hosted many Washington notables, including Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Today, Cabell's Mill offers a spacious room with hardwood floors, deep window sills and a working fireplace, a second room with an antique buffet table and fireplace, and an expansive terrace overlooking Big Rocky Run. The side lawn and terrace are lovely sites for outdoor wedding ceremonies. Cabell's Mill is a beautiful secluded place for a dinner party of up to 85 or a cocktail reception of up to 125 indoors, or a party of up to 150 using both the building and the grounds.

Although secluded, Cabell's Mill is conveniently located one minute from Interstate 66, putting it within easy reach of downtown Washington, Tysons Corner, and the Dulles Technology Corridor. With a wide range of audio-visual and presentation equipment, Cabell's Mill is also a superb site for corporate meetings, seminars and retreats.

Cabell's Mill is located at 5235 Walney Road in Centreville. It can be reached by taking Beltway Exit 49 West (Interstate 66) 11 miles to Exit 53 North (Sully Road, Route 28). Turn right at the first light onto Walney Road. The mill is .25 miles on the right.
