Alcove’s landscape holds more history than meets the eye 🌿

Once powered by Hannacroix Creek, this area was home to grist, wool, and paper mills dating back to the late 1700s. From water-powered industry to the Valley Paper Mill’s towering 98-foot chimney, Alcove played a surprising role in early manufacturing—until fire ended the mill era in 1892.

Today, all that remains are echoes of innovation, hard work, and the creek that started it all.

Stay tuned for the next chapter: the Alcove Creamery

Stop by TODAY 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. to join the celebration:
• Dealer sales throughout the shop
• Sweet treats inside
• Tom's Diggitty Dogs & More outside
• Endless vintage hunting and treasure picking

There’s no better time to shop small, support local, and see why this spot has been a favorite for a decade.

Community means showing up for one another!

On Wednesday, May 20th at 5 p.m. the RCS Community Business Association is hosting a special “Help a Member” volunteer event at Spirit Trading Company to support owner Christine Hansen.

We’re inviting local businesses, community members, and volunteers to join us for an evening of meaningful support and hands-on help. 🪴

Plus, Steve Douglas from Rail to River Brewing will be on site with a cold beer pop-up.

Bring gloves, work clothes, a spade if you have one and a willingness to help.
