The Winter Quarters/Florence Mill, nestled in Omaha, NE, has a rich history dating back to its origins as the 1846 Winter Quarters gristmill along the Mormon Trail. Recognized as a National Register Historic site, this cultural gem embarked on a restoration journey in 1998, transforming into a captivating cultural and heritage tourism destination that seamlessly weaves together agriculture, history, and art.
Visitors to the mill can explore a museum on the first floor and ascend to the second floor to immerse themselves in the vibrant ArtLoft studio and gallery. A highlight is the Sunday Farmers Market, a dynamic event that revitalizes the space by infusing contemporary agriculture into the once obsolete Mill & Grain Elevator, offering a unique experience every Sunday from June through September, between 10 am and 3 pm. During the winter months, from mid-October to mid-May, the Florence Mill gracefully hibernates, awaiting the return of warmer days to once again welcome curious minds and history enthusiasts.
