Caption: Marker detail: The First Pulp Mill
Additional Description: The first pulp mill was built at this location in 1891. Logs covered the surface of the river as they traveled downstream with the spring freshet. Remnants of the great river drives can be seen upstream of the mill, where a man-made island called a boom pier was once the perch for river drivers sorting logs as they approached the mill.
