The Millspaugh Furniture Story
When he was just 17 years old, Theron L. Millspaugh began learning the art of fashioning rough wood into beautiful pieces of furniture.
Theron, “T.L.” to his friends, was no stranger to hard work, having been born on a farm in pastoral Montgomery. His employer, furniture maker John Woolsey, was impressed by T.L.’s energy and willingness to work long hours to satisfy his customers. When Woolsey passed away, T.L. decided to carry on his legacy by purchasing the business from his wife.
The business quickly outgrew its tiny space, so T.L. decided to erect a storefront befitting its success. The resulting three-story brick building, a staple of Walden’s Main Street, remains our main store today.
