The Fun Fundraiser of the Summer
submitted by Sandra Ketchum Spencerville Mill & Museum
The Spencerville Mill Foundation’s challenging “Rise-Up” campaign intends to make the heritage flour and grist mill accessible to everyone by installing an elevator to the second floor.

The goal is to raise $100,000 to purchase an elevator and ensure that it blends seamlessly with the 1860s legacy of the Mill’s interior. This effort is close to about half that amount – helped immensely by an anonymous donor who has pledged to match contributions up to $30,000.
The highlight of “RiseUp” is a 1920s themed evening with visions of flappers, speakeasies and bootleggers in mind. This kind of fanciful entertainment is likely not what Peleg Spencer envisioned when he first built the Mill but it does match his conviction that the Mill was a major endeavour – at first as a business, then as a necessity for the local community and then as an iconic treasure for all.
Here’s a chance to spend a fun evening with friends or family. Put together a table of 8 and save some $$
