CELEBRATING THE ART OF CRAFT

Envision a multi-venue destination welcoming guests of all ages to enjoy an abundance of activities all in one magnificent 416,000 square-foot building: Old Stove Brewing, live music, ART, RESTAURANTS, museums, hotel, MAKER SPACES, BIKE TRAILS, events and SO MUCH more.

History

For nearly 100 years, the Mill defined manufacturing in Vicksburg as a pillar of the community that impacted every aspect of life in the Village. Generations of families powered the Mill with their creativity and brawn. We’re celebrating that legacy by restoring the campus to its original grandeur and upgrading the buildings with cutting-edge improvements.

pride

Fueled from top to bottom by a solid Midwestern work ethic and the desire to do whatever it takes to get the job done right, The Mill earned a reputation for innovation and making high-quality paper products. We share these traits and a desire to reestablish The Mill as a hub of innovation and production, as well as the heart and pride of Vicksburg. This thinking will continue to permeate every aspect of this project.

Prosperity

With a clear understanding that a strong Mill meant a strong and prosperous community, everyone associated with the operation knew that a rising tide lifts every boat. We know that our efforts also stand a good chance of improving the quality of life for members of our community. If we work together, a strong Mill will work for us all.
