Raye’s Mustard is a working museum in the island community of Eastport, Maine, and the last remaining traditional stone ground mustard mill in North America. At the turn of the last century, when Raye’s Mustard was built to supply mustard to the two dozen sardine canneries in Eastport and others along the coast of Maine, Eastport had a population of over 5,000. Today, all of Maine’s sardine canneries are gone, and Eastport has lost 75% of its population. But Raye’s Mustard Mill survives as a testament to the past. Each year, thousands of tourists from all 50 states and nations around the world visit the mill to see the production process first-hand, and enjoy a rare link to the past while learning about the history of mustard-making and its role in Maine’s bygone sardine industry. The mill is a past recipient of the Maine Tourism Association’s Down East and Acadia Regional Tourism Award and a visit to Raye’s Mustard Mill is ranked by tripadvisor.com as the #1 thing to do in Eastport.
