Additional Description: A Changing Community
In the 1920s, Henry Ford proposed a factory in Pinckney as part of his village industries program. He purchased the mill and dam and paid for flowage rights until 1940, when the area's agricultural industry began to decline. Many farms were sold and replaced with summer homes.
