History
Alexis and Brock bought an abandoned 1930s sawmill in Whittier in the summer of 2018 and have renovated the building to open a new event venue. The building captured their hearts when they first laid eyes on the oversized barn doors, gorgeous timber-frame ceilings and hardwood floors. These are the exact features that they wanted to highlight in the new venue.
Location
The Parker Mill is conveniently located just off Highway 74 between Sylva and Cherokee and is embedded in national forest parks.
