Description

Located in the scenic town of Savage, Maryland, Savage Mill is a Historic Cotton Mill that has been transformed into a vibrant and diverse complex of shops, galleries, exhibits and restaurants.

History

In 1820, Amos Williams and his three brothers borrowed $20,000.00 from their friend John Savage to start a textile weaving business on the banks of the Little Patuxent River. The water from the river flowed over a huge 30 foot water wheel which powered the machines that wove the cloth. They named the business Savage Mill after their generous friend. It functioned as a working textile Mill from 1822 to 1947.

Between 1947 and 1950, the entire Mill was turned into a Christmas Display Village. Christmas tree ornaments were manufactured and a miniature B&O Railroad train transported visitors to and from the Route 1 parking area. There was also a one ring circus in the huge New Weave Room. The Winer family bought the mill in 1950. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
