Our History
The main part of the Red Mill was moved to Basin Harbor in the late 40s from a nearby farm, and was used to mill lumber primarily harvested from trees in the woods to the east of the 15th and 17th greens, and the 12th tee. The lumber was used in the construction of Champlain House in 1962, and countless other things. In 1972, staff wanted a place to hang out when they weren't working, so a bar was created in the building that served only beer, sodas, hot dogs and popcorn. Because it was a fun place to while away the evening, younger guests wanted to come too, and the rest is history! The space has been enlarged several times to its current footprint. The Red Mill has become a cherished local hotspot, and is filled with photos and memorabilia from the area.
