Raye’s Mustard Mill Museum

Raye’s Mustard Mill Museum is a working museum in Eastport and the last remaining traditional stone-ground mustard mill in North America.

Built at the turn of the 20th century, the mill once supplied mustard to Eastport’s sardine canneries and others along the Maine coast, when the city was a thriving industrial port. While the sardine industry has disappeared, Raye’s Mustard Mill continues to operate much as it did more than a century ago. Today, the mill is owned and operated by fourth-generation family members committed to maintaining this historic tradition.

Visitors come to learn about traditional mustard-making, the mill’s role in Maine’s industrial past and its connection to Eastport’s waterfront history.

The museum is currently undergoing restoration, however, the museum gift shop has temporarily relocated to 54 Water Street in downtown Eastport and the doors are open. Visitors can purchase Raye’s mustards, Maine-made gifts and view a video documenting the historic production process.
