The McKinney Cotton Mill is a century-old historic structure currently home to a thriving Wedding and Event Venue and many businesses including MillHouse McKinney Glaze Ceramics Studio and Tupps Brewery. The Cotton Mill built in 1910 played an important role in the intersection of agriculture and industrialization in the early 1900’s. When Texas embarked on a twenty-year cotton mill campaign to expand the market for locally-grown cotton McKinney leaders built the Cotton Mill to keep Texas’ top agricultural product within the state for processing. In the 1960’s McKinney’s Cotton Mill (producing Texas Textile Fabrics) was the largest denim manufacturer in the world until 1969. The Cotton Mill Partners Ltd. purchased the property in 1996 and have been actively renovating the property into mixed-use development. The Cotton Mill now houses office tenants working in various industries such as art photography and pottery studios; millinery design; telemarketing; finance; wedding and event planning; and more. The Cotton Mill is continuously evolving and has plenty of space for more. Learn more about the McKinney Cotton Mill at https://mckinneycottonmill.com.
