Marker Name: Old Mill Site
Marker Text: This pile of bark and sawdust, about 85 feet by 190 feet by 4 feet, is all that remains of a small, steam-powered mill operation. Many operators took advantage of the easily accessible ponderosa pine available in the Deschutes area during the early 1900’s. These mills were usually short-lived and lasted only a summer or two.
