1. Milford Stamp Mill Marker
The Milford stamp or A.G. Campbell mill was erected in the fall of 1873 at a cost of $45,000. It was designed to work the ores of the Old Hickory Mine. In 1873-74 the mill ran successfully for five months. They used a 60 horse power engine, two horizontal boilers, a Dodge rock-crusher, wooden pans, iron settlers, and a retort. Freighters, bringing ore from the east mountains, had to ford the river, hence, the name Milford. Arvin M. Stoddard was the first settler.
