In the early years following the Civil War, a former confederate officer, Col. Edward Dillon started with an idea. He recognized a need for limestone in the Mid-Atlantic region and believed he could barge limestone on the James River from Botetourt County to eastern markets. Shortly thereafter, a limestone producing company was formed that was to endure for generations.
Now, after more than 140 years, E. Dillon & Company, one of the oldest companies in America, continues to serve. Originally operating on the James River near Buchanan, Virginia, the company used manpower, mule power, and steam power to produce its products. But as the years pass so do the ways we operate.
