Do you know of Rapidan Mills ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Rapidan Mills. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Rapidan Mills.<1>

Our sources for Rapidan Mills (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Rapidan Mills other than they indicate that Rapidan Mills would be found somewhere in Blue Earth County, Minnesota.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1900.
