The restored Mustill Store and butcher shop, now a museum as well as visitors center for Cascade Locks Park, is one of the oldest structures in Akron, dating back to about 1847. Located next to the store is the restored Mustill House where the family lived. Canal boats often tied up in the wide basin just north of Lock 15, to shop or trade at this market.
Fast forward to 2022.... Our couples use this area to capture beautiful wedding day pictures.

Team First Look or Team No First Look?!
We notice about half of our couples are Team First Look, sometimes it can help you relax prior to the ceremony and give you a moment alone with your partner.

Did you know The Trailhead is a woman-led small business? Although we are not woman-owned, almost our entire staff are women. Our staff has grown so close over the last three years together. We can honestly say we love coming to work!
We’re obsessed with history here at The Trailhead. I mean, we are located in a 118 year old building that was once a rubber & tire factory after all. You’ll find minor artifacts repurposed into decor pieces around the space, like repurposed tire molds and wood from a 300-year-old Sycamore tree. Tour the space to learn more about our history and the community surrounding us!
Did you know you can rent our beautiful bridal suite on Airbnb? This is the perfect spot for you and your bridal party to get ready.
