What is The Mill at Vicksburg?
The old Lee Paper Mill was built in 1903 with paper production beginning in 1905. It turned cotton rags into fine writing paper. At its peak, it produced over 17 tons of product from its 420,000 square feet and was the economic and cultural engine of the community. It closed in 2001. The National Park Service recognizes it on its National Register of Historic Places.
The Mill at Vicksburg campus consists of the 40 acres including and surrounding the central Mill building, plus 80 acres to the west in historic Vicksburg, Michigan, 12 miles south of Kalamazoo.
