IRA MILLER'S

This c. 1880 general store means so much to so many people.

​

When we moved to The Mills on July 3, 2000, with our one baby girl, Sue ran the place and we loved it!

​

By 2007, we had four girlies walking hand in hand down to the store for their Friday penny candy as we watched from our front stoop. And, when Sue closed it was a tearful farewell.

​

19 years, one day (and one more girl!) later, Gloria Hutchins, the mayor and matriarch of Milton Mills, -who always kept an eye out for our kids from her porch and told us if ever she saw someone snatch them, she’d jump in her car and chase - cut the ribbon to mark the rebirth of this beloved store.

​

We are blessed to have been passed the baton.

Lots of love from The Darlings!
