Our History

The Mill House stands as a cornerstone of Lander’s story. Built in 1888, the building was originally the town’s first flour mill—a place where the hum of grinding stone and the scent of freshly milled grain were part of daily life. For decades, it served as both an industry hub and a gathering point, nourishing the growing community on the edge of the Wyoming frontier.

As Lander evolved, so too did the old mill. The sturdy brick walls and timber beams weathered the years, quietly holding the echoes of countless stories. Rather than fading into history, the mill was lovingly restored and reimagined, transforming from a place of sustenance into a place of connection, comfort, and discovery.

Today, the Mill House blends historic character with modern luxury. Guests can still sense the building’s heritage in its architecture and charm, while enjoying the warmth and style of a thoughtfully designed boutique hotel. Beyond lodging, the Mill House now serves as a venue for events, celebrations, and gatherings—continuing its legacy as a cornerstone of community life in the heart of downtown Lander.

Every stay here is more than a visit—it’s a chance to step into Wyoming’s history, while writing a new story of your own.
