The Oakland Mill is Maquoketa’s newest event center located on the
edge of town on Prairie Creek. The Mill was originally built in 1867 and
is built into a limestone bluff. The Mill ran as a grist mill powered by a
turbine in the basement which ran off Prairie Creek. In recent years it
was well known as Costello’s Old Mill Gallery and Costello’s Old Mill
Reception Hall.
The Mill was purchased by Lacey McDevitt and Nick Szebeni in 2012
with the intention of continuing the event center and holding events for
the public. They have been working hard at renovations to update
everything. They currently live in the top 2 floors of the Mill with their 2
children, Lyla age 4 and Benjamin age 2 1/2. Lacey is a native of
Maquoketa and Nick is from the Milwaukee area. They saw the mill as a
great opportunity for events in the community.
The Oakland Mill is available for rent for weddings, parties, showers,
corporate events , etc. The Mill will also hold events for the public. The
Mill can accommodate up to 150 people. The Mill has many unique
features including a wrap around deck, gazebo, large patio, and
spacious backyard overlooking Prairie Creek. Inside there is a
kitchenette for use and a large table for buffet style serving. A new
custom bar made from red cedar and walnut serves up beer, wine,
soda and water. The Mill is not a restaurant and does not serve food.
