| Historic narrative: | |||||
| Mill Street got its name from several mills that were located there. In the 1850s, George Sager built a mill that was both a sawmill and gristmill. Harvey Weaver had it next, then Charles Sager. Finally by the 1890s, Chester Conant used it as a box factory.The boxes produced were mostly sold locally to farms that used them to package and ship their produce. | |||||
