Celebrate the start of the Holidays at Motor Mill with the 3rd Annual Bridge Lighting and open house on November 23rd from 5:00-6:30 PM. This event will kick off a year of celebration to honor 150 years of history. Motor Mill was completed in December of 1869 and opened for business that January. We will be celebrating this momentous occasion throughout 2020 with a variety of special events. Come down to the mill to celebrate with the Motor Mill Foundation. There will be hot chocolate and treats, as well as gifts to inspire your holiday shopping! Each year local friendly elves work hard to light up the bridge for all...
