Silver Creek Mill Store

If you want to support a good cause, the Silver Creek Mill in Mascoutah, IL is the place to frequent.
«The 2,400-square-foot store is filled with thousands of works of art and folk crafts made by Illinois artisans. The wide variety spans the genre of arts and crafts and includes large collections of fine oil paintings, graphic arts and pottery as well as homemade specialty soaps, jewelry, exotic woods crafts, metal crafts, quilts and much more. including clocks, pens, wine bottle holders, boxes and cutting boards. The garden center green house is filled with seasonal plants and the shop offers a full line of garden supplies.
There’s always something happening at Silver Creek Mill Every week artists and artisans are invited to demonstrate their work in the store near the homey fireplace surrounded by comfortable leather sofas. In the summer, many events move outside to the Farmers Market or Universal Garden. The shop is operated by volunteers and proceeds support Trinity Services, Inc. adult learning and residential programs for people with developmental disabilities.»
This year I began volunteering and patronizing Silver Creek’s local farmer’s market and although smaller than most, they always have quality organic produce options, musicians performing, and fine people to talk to. It is truly a great and fulfilling feeling to be supporting an organization that does such good in the Mascoutah area!
Try it out for a Saturday through the growing season. 8:00 — 12:30 pm.
