History

The Millhouse Venue was originally built in 1919 by the Beet Growers Sugar Company. By 1924, the building was used to store sugar beet trucks that were part of the Rigby Sugar Mill. The mill’s 210-foot-high smokestack can still be seen in the venue’s backdrop, to remind visitors of a bygone era.
