Riverview Artist Mill Studios & Shops
Riverview Artist Mill, a renovated mill on the banks of the Souhegan River behind Main Street in downtown Wilton NH, has been undergoing a renaissance, a re-birth of purpose, recently. The once empty furniture factory is filled to capacity this year with working artist studios, small galleries, and shops dedicated to the unique and artful. Those curious or adventurous people who visit the mill, some of which is open daily, often remark that the delightful businesses and people found there are "the best kept secret in New Hampshire."
The Riverview Artists Mill Studios are located at 33 Howard Street, Wilton, NH, and the many of the shops of the Riverview Artists Mill are located next door at 29 Howard Street. Shop Hours for the majority of shops are Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 am to 5:30 pm and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
