Why you should go…

The Velvet Mill occupies the former American Velvet Company factory, built in 1888 and operating from 1892 to 1996, in Stonington Borough, Connecticut. The restored mill is now a hub of small businesses and artist studios, including an artisanal bakery, a wood-fired pizza restaurant, a handmade cheese shop, an artisan soap and candle studio, and Beer'd Brewing Co., a nano-brewery offering tastings, growlers and cans.
