Why this spot
1908-1939 sawmill and logging railroad village
Platted in 1908 by the Dells Lumber and Pulp Company beside the Omaha Railway, with spur lines to seven logging camps, taverns, a boarding house, a store, a hotel and a school. About 25 families lived there in the 1920s, logging ended by 1935, and the post office and school closed in 1938 and 1939.View source →
