You are invited to be part of the Mills Community House brick fundraiser project. We are honored to offer the opportunity to become part of this historic treasure. Commemorate a special event in someone’s life, honor a friend or family member, or memorialize a loved one. Bricks will border the walkways, enhancing our beautiful grounds and gardens.
At a cost of only $100.00, you may purchase a 4”x8” brick with up to 4 lines of engraving and up to 21 characters per line. Net proceeds from brick sales will be used for repairs and improvements to the building. Vertical Divider

Benzonia Academy 1909. Now the Mills Community House
|
The Historic Mills, a distinctive red brick building, built in 1909 as a dormitory for the Benzonia Academy, became the Mills Community house in 1925. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mills has been used as a public venue throughout its history: a gymnasium, meeting location for educational and cultural programs, and home to the Benzonia Public Library for nearly 100 years. It was dedicated to the Mills Community House Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, in 2002.
