Built over 100 years ago, this historic 57 acre sawmill and company town was closed in 1969 when lumbermen set down their tools and walked away. Features of the complex include audiovisual presentations, exhibits, souvenirs, picnic areas, a nature trail, and railroad motor car rides on the Red River and Gulf Railroads.
