The Mill on Etowah

One of the metro’s hottest adaptive re-use developments is showcased in the historic 120-year-old former Canton Cotton Mill on the banks of the Etowah River near downtown Canton.

The Mill on Etowah in the former denim factory now features a brewery and taproom, a retail marketplace, restaurants, a co-working environment, and more. The 250,000-square-foot destination in the former Canton Cotton Mill property overlooking the Etowah River is at 225 Reformation Parkway in Canton and also features an events green with stage and visual screen.

A key component of the project is the rich history of the area, and each company that is a part of The Mill on Etowah is encouraged to tell their history as well as the history of the community. Canton City Councilor Brooke Schmidt says she is glad to see what the project is accomplishing in the city.

Hodge and Schmeelk purchased the property from the Jones family, which founded the denim-producing mill in 1899 and operated in until it closed in 1981. Along with the iconic brick mill, the project also encompasses six additional buildings.
