IN THE BEGINNING, there was the 1923 Feed Mill (including the warehouse). Clear out a few buildings, add the 1917 Montgomery Ward Home and then the 1927 Gordon Van Tine Barn. Put them all together and renovate – and then you have the Odin Craft Mill. (Photo courtesy of Odin Craft Mill)

 

 

An eclectic variety of products have been “warehoused” in the “Mill” in Odin over the course of the past several weeks in preparation for the fall shows of the Odin Craft Mill.

The 17th annual fall shows will run for three extended weekends – Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 6-9; Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 13-16 and Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 20-23. Fall Show hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday – 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday – 12 noon to 5 p.m.

There will be over 150 consignors from five states displaying yard art, jewelry and crafts – all in one place. This fall there will be more repurposed furniture and reclaimed pieces than ever before.

Items will be spread throughout the authentic 1923 Odin Feed Mill, complete with the old grinding and mixing rooms (and the original equipment, including the overhead hoist and old warehouse – to the 1917 Montgomery Ward house – to the 1927 Gordon Van Tine barn with its original floors, wallpaper and woodwork. This summer, the 99-year-old Montgomery Ward house saw some remodeling – which patrons will see for the first time this fall.

Additionally, lunch is available  in the Feed Mill’s old warehouse.

The Odin Craft Mill was the brainchild of Nancy Olson of Butterfield. Olson manages the operation, and during show days, it is staffed by volunteers from the surrounding area.

Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Holiday Seasons of Christmas and New Year’s are on the horizon – with lots of treasures available to do them up right.
