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. The primary product woven in the 1800's was canvas. This lightweight, yet strong material was used in making sail

s for clipper ships that sailed in and out of Baltimore Harbor. This product was also used for tents, cannon covers and other supplies for Civil War armies; painted backdrops for Hollywood’s first silent movies from 1890 to 1900; and canvas cots, truck covers and transport bags used by U.S. soldiers in Europe during both World Wars I and II. 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 an 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. The Historic Complex of buildings with over 175,000 square feet is now home to major collector quality antique centers, home furnishing galleries, artist studios, specialty shops, craft boutiques, outdoor adventures, auctions, destination restaurants and wedding facilities. Historic Savage Mill is truly a great unique shopping, dining, facility with even more than you’d first guess that meets the interests of the entire family. So what are you waiting for?

A lot of creativity and attention to detail go into Xanadu Botanicals & Design, LLC craft of creating welcome indoor environments.

We often don’t talk about our most recent history of the Mill.

This summer, we are fast forwarding from the cotton mill days and Santa Heim to not so long ago: When the Mill we now know and love was just an idea in Jay Winer and his colleagues’ minds.

Connecting with our community is important to us. In addition to hosting the first-ever month-long display of student art from neighboring Bollman Bridge Elementary School, this spring we hosted two year-end musical performances with the 5th grades from Centennial Lane Elementary School and St. John's Lane Elementary School. The talented bands, orchestras, and choruses entertained families, merchants, and visitors. We hope everyone has a fabulous summer break and look forward to seeing you again next spring!
