Mini Road Trip to Alton Mill

I hit the road Saturday morning with my friend Debbie. Debbie knew where we were going...I had no clue.  We entered a crossroad  with sprawling hills to the right and what seemed like the heart of the town to the left.  "We're in Alton", she said. "I grew up here."  Beautiful country hills. Lovely homes with character.  Then she drove over a one lane bridge to what seemed like no where, and just around the corner appeared Alton Mill. Wow!  A restored Heritage Mill that houses artists, studios, museum work, a cafe and more. It made me want to say "I DO" just to hold the reception on the property.





A great place to become inspired.  The Mill use to make plastics.  Condoms was one of the products.  Everyone seemed to mention that.  The building is absolutely stunning.  A mix of old with new. Hardwood floors throughout, lath framed windows inside to divide spaces while still allowing light to travel.  Well worth the stop.
