Description
McLean Mill National Historic site
The McLean "Steam" Sawmill is the only commercial steam-operated sawmill in Canada. It was designated a National Historic site of Canada in 1989. The mill originally was a family operated business from 1926 to 1965 when it was closed because of competition for larger lumber companies in the area. It was re-opened to the public in 2000. The sawmill is manned during the summer when wood is cut for demonstration and sale. You'll see the old original buildings and lots of restored logging equipment around the site including a steam donkey, logging trucks, graders, and lumber carriers.
