Fullerton

The last log went through the Fullerton mill at about 9:09 on the morning of May 6, 1927, and the whistle sounded one final time. The planing mill kept loading boxcars until late June. The town, valued at roughly $3.5 million, was reported sold for about $50,000. Six families stayed some ten months to see the sale through, houses were hauled off to private lots, and the steel and concrete mills were dismantled and carted away. The log pond survives as Lake Fullerton, and the mill and town site was listed on the National Register in 1986.
