The mill pictured on May 26, 1993 by Phil Schmitz. It is much the same as today, except being painted light yellow instead of grey.
John Burd settled the land here on Little AUghwick Creek in 1770 and built a hotel, a trading post and the first mill. The trading post was, at that time, on the edge of the frontier.
