Spared from the wrecking ball in 2014 and nominated to the National Registry of Historic Places, the Vicksburg Mill is ready to hum again. Envision a campus- home to multiple breweries, barley malting and hops processing facilities, a local producers marketplace, light manufacturing and necessary support services to aid our tenants in the pursuit of their dreams.

We had such a great time at the VCS Community Tailgate event last Friday where we could represent The Mill at Vicksburg and Mackenzies Bakery in our support of Vicksburg Community Schools. It is especially fun to be a part of the excitement of with our Vicksburg Bulldogs on this special day focused on families, and our seniors.
Our Mill and Mackenzies teams include a mix of current VHS students, recent VHS graduates, and VHS alumni - so we are among the first to say !

Hello September! What a beautiful day for construction, and colorful wildflowers at The Mill!
We're starting to see big changes to the Main St. facades of our historic Hill's Buildings this week! Much of the exterior façade work we've completed with Frederick Construction in recent weeks has been behind the scenes, as the buildings are being fitted with new steel members to frame the storefronts into their original 1870s layout. Once the steel is in place, the existing east walls of 108 and 110 S. Main will be completely removed and replaced with their new "historic" storefronts!
We’re five months into our roof replacement effort with Frederick Construction in the Mill’s “Building 7”! We will be seeing additional sections of roof removed in this area over the course of the weeks ahead.
Building 7 was an addition to the original 1904 structure when Lee Paper Co. sought to expand their efforts and needed a new “machine room”.
The roof of this addition consisted of a concrete panel system that was unique to this section of the Mill, however the panels are no longer effective as an exterior material for protecting the interior from the elements. The roof panels are being meticulously disassembled and will be replaced with a metal roof over the next several months.
Good morning! Despite today’s weather forecast for high temps, autumn IS right around the corner and we’re calling all former mill workers for our 5th Annual Mill Family Reunion event!
We’ll be hosting a harvest-themed gathering for former mill workers, friends and family on Saturday, October 12th and we hope to see you there!

More Mill Q&A with Taylor Kallio! Q: Looking ahead to when The Mill reopens, how do you think you will feel having been a part of this project and documenting it? TK: "It’s been dream come true up to this point. I am already pinching myself about the fact that I have been afforded the possibility to be a part of this project and I can’t imagine the content we will be able to produce!" Here is a nice compilation that shows some of his most favorite Mill moments so far... Great work Taylor!
When Taylor Kallio first stepped foot on The Mill campus in December of 2016, he could already see the potential of what this massive campus could become. An experienced aerial photographer and videographer, he quickly became part of The Mill family and has since devoted much of his time to bringing The Mill’s story to life through images and film. We are proud to announce that Taylor is now a full-time member of our Mill team! Stay tuned to our social channels this week to learn more about him and his favorite experiences so far, here in Vicksburg.
