Ralston Mill. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The Mill was built in the late 1940s to manufacture a variety of feed for agricultural and domestic animals. The operation was large and was serviced directly by the railroad. The Mill closed in the early 1970s and was subsequently purchased by Bruce Ralston in 1976 — who has been busy improving the historic site ever since.

At its core, Ralston Mill’s business model focuses upon the ability to assist in creating and keeping private sector jobs in the Northeast Kingdom by creating flexible, affordable spaces to rent for a variety of market sectors.

Future Plans at Ralston Mill

Our 13-acre, waterfront site offers lots of room for growth and expansion! Projects currently on the drawing boards include:

• Rerouting the bike path from Bay Street to along the Passumpsic River side of Ralston Mill
• Adding retail/dining space on the river side of the mill building (east)
• Full expansion of Warehouse and Light Industrial space the Bay Street side (west)
• Apartments on the upper levels of the Ralston Mill Building
