The Swift Creek Mill is a historic grist mill at 17401 Jefferson Davis Hwy in South Chesterfield, Virginia, just across Swift Creek from the city of Colonial Heights. Built about 1850, the present brick mill structure is one of a long line of mills that have occupied this site since the mid-17th century. The mill was adapted for use as the Swift Creek Mill Theater in the 1960s.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]

This was built in the 1600's not 1850's by Henery Randolph. William and Henry Randolph came to Jamestown then came up the James River to settle at Turkey Island around 1640. Then Henry moved to swift creek to build gristmill
