Arcola Mills Historic Foundation

Arcola Mills, a thriving lumber milling community built in 1847, is now a place of historic and natural wonder.  Situated on the nationally designated 'Wild and Scenic' St. Croix River just 6 miles north of Stillwater on Highway 95.  Arcola Mills allows visitors to step back in time while communing with the splendor of one of the area's greatest natural resources.  The 10,000 square foot mansion offers enironmental learning and the sawmill ruins gives you a look at the lumber boom era. 

The Arcola Mills Historic Foundation offers classes that focus on restoration, preservation, migration, and conservation.  We are a life-long learning center offering classes to allow guests to learn about the land, river, and enjoy this beautiful space.
