Step Back In Time








Sawmills like this were common in the 1950’s heyday of local sawmills. There are still many in the state. We know of five that are still operating. One mill saws lumber and also makes furniture, beautiful handmade furniture. The mill in the photo is powered by a Farmall Model H tractor. The power takeoff on the tractor powers the 48” blade. In the 1930’s many mills were powered by steam engines.
