Whiting Mills is home to inspired artists, craftspeople, retail shops, manufacturing companies, and a center for artistic, community, and social events.
This historic Whiting Mills building has been turned into studios for dozens of master artists, photographers, wood workers and cabinet makers, craftspeople, unique shops for quilting, hobby store (miniature railroad), and gallery. Winsted, settled in 1750, was one of the first mill towns in Connecticut. In the late 1800s Winsted Hosiery was a small manufacturer of men’s hosiery and occupied 2 red brick industrial buildings and a stone building on Whiting Street. The company later expanded its products and became the largest hosiery manufacturer in Connecticut. Whiting Mills, LLC was established in June of 2004 when Jean Paul and Eva Blachere purchased the 135,000 sq ft complex. It is to be the future home of the nationally acclaimed American Mural Project.
