Rooted in Huntsville History
Part of what makes Salt Smokehouse stand out is its location inside the Lincoln Mill District, one of Huntsville’s most unique redevelopment projects.
Originally established in the early 1900s as a textile mill, the Lincoln Mill area played an important role in Huntsville’s industrial history before being transformed into the mixed-use district it is today.
Now, the area is home to restaurants, apartments, offices, entertainment spaces, and local businesses while still preserving the character of the original historic mill buildings.
The district has become a destination for both locals and visitors seeking a different side of Huntsville, one that blends history, redevelopment, and community energy.
