This sawmill was pulled out of Scoggins Valley in mid-1960 before the building of Scoggins Dam was begun. Dave Johnson kept it at his property and then donated it to Dan Jansen and Matt Pihl. They started the rebuild and about 10 years ago transported it to Matt’s property on Green Mountain Road where they completed the rebuild and installed it at the present site. The sawmill dates to the 1920’s and is fully functional with a 60” circular saw belt-driven and powered by a 175 HP diesel engine. Examples of lumber processed on the mill have been utilized in several structures on the property. In addition, there is an extensive collection of historical logging and sawmill equipment to view.
