About the Business

Welcome to Souther Tide Mill, a cherished historical landmark nestled at 622 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts. Our mission is to preserve this iconic site, which stands on the former Quincy Lumber Company grounds, and to promote public interest and educational programs that delve into Quincy’s rich history of grist milling, granite quarrying, lumber production, shipbuilding, and maritime activities.
The Souther Tide Mill, with roots tracing back to 1800, is a testament to Quincy’s vibrant industrial past and its strategic importance as a hub of economic activity. Originally developed by Ebenezer Thayer and later expanded by John Souther, the site flourished with bustling shipyards, tide mills, and the Quincy Canal, playing a pivotal role in the city’s development.

Our site offers a unique glimpse into the past, where the echoes of shipwrights, millers, and quarrymen continue to resonate.
We invite you to join us in preserving this landmark and supporting our efforts to maintain and interpret the site for future generations. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an educator, or simply curious about Quincy’s storied past, Souther Tide Mill offers a captivating journey through time.

Reviews
"Can only be viewed from the outside."
"An incomprehensible closed establishment..."
"Ugly eyesore that should've been demolished ages ago. Half of it was destroyed in a fire a decade ago. The response to that fire was to put up a chain-link fence with razor wire and install a very brightly colored door, which only made the dingy, rot-colored shingles of the mill look worse. It's a lost cause."
"Had a great time today with the Friends of the Souther Tide Mill. Their open house at the mill brought out lots of visitors. The facility is only open occasionally but has tons of potential and needs community support to turn it into a functioning museum. Souther ran a grist mill but was first and foremost a shipbuilder. Watch for opportunities to visit!"
