Marland Woolen Mills

    Stevens and North Main Street


In 1820 Abraham Marland purchased a paper mill and converted it to produce wool. In 1879 it was bought by the Stevens Woolen Company. The original mill buildings were replaced over time, and the mill operated until 1960.

During World War I and World War II Marland Mills produced wool and flannel for blankets and uniforms. Before World War II Marland Mills employed about 400 people. That number grew to 500 during World War II.

In 1996 one of the remaining buildings was converted to an assisted living facility called Marland Place.
