Why this spot
1927-1978 company sawmill town
Company town built from 1927 for the Kinzua Pine Mills sawmill, once the largest community in Wheeler County with 330 mill workers and, in 1965, 125 homes. When the mill closed in 1978 the buildings were removed and the site was replanted with pine.View source →
