Central City Market lives inside one of Stevens Point's most storied buildings. Originally home to a thriving ironworks company and neighbor to the railroad that once fueled the city's growth, the Altenburg Dairy building has been a quiet witness to over a century of community life. Today, we’re bringing it back — beautifully restored with modern decor and amenities, while honoring the historic facade that gives this place its soul. Walking through our doors means stepping into a piece of Stevens Point history, reimagined for what comes next.
We are active, vibrant hub of industry and community - celebrating the past while building a thriving future. Central City Market is comprised of local makers and entrepreneurs all coming together to bring life back into this historic building. The whole is greater than its parts.
