About Boones Mill
Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Boones Mill is a quiet, scenic town in Franklin County, Virginia. The community dates back to 1782, when Jacob Boon built a gristmill along Maggodee Creek, which still winds through the narrow valley framing the area today. It offers a relaxed rural atmosphere with a surprisingly easy commute. U.S. Route 220 runs right through town, placing you about 14 miles south of Roanoke and just 10 miles north of Rocky Mount.
With around 250 residents, Boones Mill has a close-knit feel centered around its historic district, older character homes, and sweeping views of nearby peaks like Cahas Mountain.
