VISIT JOHNSON

THE ORIGINAL JOHNSON WOOLEN MILLS FACTORY STORE & CONTEMPORARY RIVER'S EDGE MILL LODGING

Since 1842, Johnson Woolen Mills has stood at the center of this hardworking Vermont village, not just as a manufacturer but as a dedicated good neighbor. The mill has employed local families, anchored the community through every season of hardship and prosperity, and kept the craft of American wool-making alive right here on the Gihon River for nearly two centuries.

Today that commitment runs deeper than ever. The same hands that cut and stitch every piece in the factory store are restoring the historic mill buildings into lodging, and investing in Johnson itself. Not as a tourism project, but as a vote of confidence in the town. Walk the village and you will find locally owned cafes and restaurants, independent shops, and the renowned Vermont Studio Center gallery, our friends just across the river. What is good for Johnson is good for the mill, and the other way around. We are all part of the community fabric. Come see where it's made. Stay a while.

Explore the north country that shaped everything we build.

COME SEE & FEEL
WHERE IT'S MADE

Step into the Johnson Woolen Mills factory store and you're stepping into two centuries of made-in-Vermont tradition. Browse the full line: classic wool trousers, the legendary Jac shirt, the new Merino Collection, and seasonal finds, all cut, stitched, and finished just steps from where you stand. Say hello to the resident sheep. Take home wool built to hand down.

This is more than a retail stop. It's living proof of what a community keeps when it holds onto something worth keeping, and the people who show up every day to make it. For everyone out there doing the work, because you deserve apparel that works as hard as you do.

BOOK A STAY AT THE JOHNSON MILL

COME STAY WHERE THE RIVER MEETS REAL VERMONT FLOW

The Johnson mill buildings that once hummed with looms now offer something new: a place to rest well, wake up to river sounds, and walk across the yard for your morning coffee. Our renovated mill lodging sits directly on the Gihon River — one of the most quietly spectacular settings in Lamoille County. Steps from our factory store and the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. A short drive from some of the best skiing in the Northeast.

Every space has been thoughtfully restored, honoring the character of the 1875 Johnson Mill while adding the comforts of a proper Vermont stay. This is not a hotel. It's a piece of the town — and you're always welcome in it.
