Inscription.
Fullerton Recreation Area was the site of the largest pine sawmill West of the Mississippi River. Between 1907 - 1927, it was a thriving town of 5000 people. The industrial area had sawmills, alcohol plant, kiln, and machine shop. A nearby trail passes through some of these ruins. The living area had parks, waterfalls, shaded avenues, and "modern" conveniences like electricity and inside plumbing. The community also had churches, schools, hotel, hospital, theater, and swimming pool. Fullerton was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
