The Cotton Mill Exchange fills an expansive 45,000 square feet in The Mill on Etowah, an award-winning reuse development in the heart of Downtown Canton. The old Canton Cotton Mill (circa 1899) on Railroad Street rests along the banks of the Etowah River, so make sure to set aside plenty of time for exploring during your shopping trip.
The historic industrial space is the perfect backdrop for the designers, artisans, and small business owners who have filled The Cotton Mill Exchange with an alluring blend of vintage and antique home goods, fashions, and new and vintage merchandise since it opened in 2019.
“This is a dream come true for us,” owner Lori Sinatra says of the space with its more than 118-year-old brick walls and gleaming, refinished wood floors in the historic district of Canton.
