History Records indicate that Swift Creek Mill was in existence as early as 1663. It is believed to be the oldest grist mill in this country. Henry Randolph I, born in Little Houghton, Northamptonshire, England, migrated to this country about 1640. In 1655, he acquired a large tract of land in Bermuda Hundred on Swift Creek where he erected the present mill.

An heir of Henry Randolph I, William Bland Randolph, deeded the mill to William Rowlett on February 20, 1805, and it became known as Rowlett’s Mill.

In 1852, the Rowlett heirs conveyed the mill to the Swift Creek Manufacturing Company.

On May 9th and 10th, 1864, a battle was fought around the mill while General B.F. Butler’s Army of the James attempted to cross Swift Creek. Following the Civil War, the property became Schmidt’s Distillery, making corn whiskey. Following this, the property changed hands several times, was operated as a grist mill and became known in 1929 as Swift Creek Mill. It continued to operate as a grist mill until about 1956.

On December 2, 1965, Swift Creek Mill Playhouse opened its doors. To convert the old grist mill into a dinner theater required an addition to the three story building to house the kitchen, dressing rooms and restrooms. Stairways were built leading to upper and lower dining levels, and to the theatre located on the top floor.

Much of the old equipment in the mill was refurbished to lend a rustic atmosphere.

Swift Creek Mill has been preserved as both an historical landmark and cultural outlet for the talent of local artists, skilled actors, directors, designers and technicians whose efforts have made possible the artistic achievements of the Mill. The 300 year old Swift Creek Mill has been made a Virginia Historical Landmark and has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

As of fall 2013, Swift Creek Mill is now ADAcompliant, offering increased access and services to persons with disabilities. A monumental task, the renovations were completed following precise guidelines, and the iconic structure continues to retain its historic value and status.

December 2, 2015, marks the 50th anniversary of the theatre, making the Mill not only an historic structure but also an historic theatre - while looking forward to many more years serving South-Central Virginia residents and its visitors.

Program Relaunched The Featured Ar tists Program Receives Generous Gifts for the 50th Anniversar y Season

Patrons of Swift Creek Mill Theatre have enjoyed artwork on the walls of the Historic Mill Room for many years. Five years ago, the board of directors and staff of the Mill began a program to organize the works into curated exhibits that would coincide with plays. During these years some wonderful artists, such as Dr. Ivan Perkinson, Frank Underwood, Jr., Henry Kidd, artists from the Chester Artists Association and many, many more talented individuals, have shown their art on our walls.

We love our artist friends, and we believe they love the Mill, too, but it became clear that the only way to be an asset to visual artists is to provide proper lighting for their wonderful artwork. Last season, the Swift Creek Mill Board of Directors set out on a mission to accomplish the task. Putting the Featured Artists Program on hold, the Mill sought ways to implement better lighting and attract artists. Little did we know that the answer lied with some wonderful connections we already had.

Dr. Ivan Perkinson has been an ongoing contributor to the program and approached the board with the idea of creating and selling prints for a new original piece of art - a fall scene of the renovated Mill Building (below). The next step was equally amazing, as Dr. Perkinson invited his brother Dr. Baxter Perkinson to participate in the kick-off to the Mill's 50th Anniversary Season. Together these dynamic twins (who are proudly 70 years-old and going strong!) decided to supply the new art lighting, exhibit in the first show of this landmark season, and support the Featured Artists Program through both financial and artistic support.

The efforts of the Perkinson brothers, combined with the volunteer hours by the board and the extra efforts by Mill staff are sure to result in a fantastic series of Featured Artists and perhaps some surprises along the way.

All of us here at Swift Creek Mill extend a hearty 'thank you' to the Doctors Perkinson for their commitment to the Arts. We hope you will join us again this season to see what else is in store.

If you would like to donate to the Featured Artists Program - providing arts experiences for more than 10,000 people annually and giving a unique venue for visual artists to show their work - please visit swiftcreekmill.com/ donate and choose the Featured Artists Program from the campaign list.

Featured Artists A Living Legacy of Family and Philanthropy: The Ar t of Drs. W. Baxter Perkinson, Jr. and Ivan W. Perkinson The saying goes “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” It is evident by the dynamic spirit of brothers Baxter and Ivan Perkinson that talent, hard work and caring run in the family. Growing up in Powhattan County, the Perkinson twins were taught hard work, self-reliance, and appreciation for education. In fact, both worked multiple jobs in their youth and put themselves through college, earning doctoral degrees.

Being active in the community came naturally to the brothers. As one of the foremost dentists in Central Virginia, Baxter grew his practice to eleven locations, eventually forming Virginia Family Dentistry, while serving the community at various times as a rector of VCU, vice president of VCU Health Systems, and member of the VCU Board of Visitors. He came to a point early on when he knew he wanted to give back and has done so generously. Ivan honed a career as a professional speaker and marketing consultant, giving presentations in 49 of the 50 states and then retired. He later became the founding minister of Matoaca Christian Fellowship, retired a second time, and has subsequently served as the After Care Director for J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Homes for twelve years – all the while serving on various boards, donating artwork and being actively involved where he lived and worked.

Hard work, however, does not take priority over family. It is the legacy the brothers have built from their similar dreams that really matters. Baxter’s wife Elaine also put herself through college and was drawn to Baxter’s ambition and confidence. Together they have created a life in which practicality and philanthropy are priorities. Three of their four children have become dentists in the family practice, and they hope some of their seven grandchildren – the light of their lives – follow in their footsteps as well. Ivan and his high school sweetheart Peggy have been happily married since March 1963, and have 3 grown children, 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. The Perkinson families serve as mentors and role models for this younger generation as active community volunteers, philanthropists and artists.

Baxter and Ivan both learned to paint as adults. At age 35, Baxter was inspired to learn to paint and coached by his neighbor, artist Elly Cox. At a Christmas party at Baxter’s house in 1990, Ivan was admiring his twin’s recent paintings and said “I’d give anything to paint like that.” Baxter replied, “You know it didn’t come to me naturally. It’s a skill you can learn, like playing the piano or typing. If you really want to paint, I’ll teach you. Come to my house on Saturdays and we’ll paint together.” They were 46 at the time.

Today, at 70, both men are well known as professional watercolor artists in Virginia. Their paintings are strikingly different. Ivan focuses more on memories of historical settings with great emphasis on detail while Baxter is much more impressionistic and free.

Though their professional careers led the two down different paths, and even as twins the brothers are very distinct, it is obvious they share some important traits: love for the arts and deep care for family and others.

Through their watercolors, viewers can embrace both emotion and a deep sense of community. Swift Creek Mill Theatre is pleased and honored to present the works of these celebrated artists on the walls of the historic Mill Room.

Lutheran and Lovin' It More about Church Basement Ladies 2

Theatre Spotlight:

Because of the original musical's phenomenal success, Executive Producer, Curt Wollan decided to continue the story of this same group of women, these "Steel Magnolias of the Prairie," as they deal with life, death and new adventures in the world and their lives. Eight years ago, Wollan crafted the idea of developing a new musical comedy Church Basement Ladies inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, the creators of the best-selling book Growing Up Lutheran, that brought their unique brand of humor to the stage. It was a well-conceived project dedicated to those stalwart women of the church who volunteer to work in the church kitchen... those under-appreciated ladies of the church who cook and arrange the food and coffee for weddings, youth gatherings, and pot luck suppers... our mothers, grandmothers, aunts and moms.

With their heartwarming humor and hilarious antics, Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping! takes us from serving the High School students at the Luther League Banquet to a church-sponsored Missionary Night and the rise and fall of a Viking's Super Bowl Sunday. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they deal with the joys and upheavals from below the "House of God!" In developing an all-new score and script for the sequel, Wollan gathered an impressive new creative team.

He's merged the talents of composer/ songwriter Drew Jansen, who wrote the original score and the lyrics for Church Basement Ladies with another well-known Twin Cities composer, Dennis Curley, arranger of the stage version of Schoolhouse Rock Live! based on the popular TV series.

Known for her comedy sketches and as head writer for the Medora Musical, Greta Grosch collaborated with this music duo to develop the script.

From the Artistic Director Oh, what fun we had on our first visit to this church basement in 2012!

Getting to know the ladies who toil away “below the house of God” gave us the same feeling that we get after one of those potluck “hot dish” suppers that so many of us remember: we’re ready for a second helping, please!

So here it is: an all-new “second helping” of the humor, faith and down-home wisdom of these three generations of Lutheran women. I hope you’ll enjoy your second trip to the church basement smorgasbord!
