About Us

Every visit to The Mill District General Store & Local Art Gallery is an amazing in-person experience. When you walk inside, you are welcomed by our friendly staff and overwhelming variety. We are proud to stock an ever-growing list of local artists and makers within our walls.

We carry nostalgic and modern products, art supplies, home goods, kitchenware, pet supplies, toys and games, skincare and beauty products, home and bath necessities, and seasonal clothing. We aim for our selection to provide you with quality items from local or small makers, ethically sourced goods, and more.

One of the best things about community: there's always something happening! From outdoor art activities to local markets, gallery openings to food & drink tastings, there's a whole lot going on around here all year long. Join our mailing list or follow us on social media to keep up with all the happenings!

The latest in a long line of family businesses at this location dating back to 1741, The Mill District General Store is inspired by the 7th generation owner, Walter Cowls Jones, who was always quick with a homespun quip. We are proud to introduce a new store with a touch of nostalgia that has everything you need, as well as the fun things that Walter would say are “Handier than a pocket in a pair of under drawers!” Every visit is truly an experience. This “Modern” General Store has updated to include an online shopping experience.

We are always seeking new local vendors! Reach out on our website vendor application form if you are interested in selling your local goods with us!
