     History
    Both the Sherman Mine and Milnes Mill closed around 1990. If it were not for the tourism industry to sustain Temagami, it too might become a ghost town.

    An old railway track simply stops with a sign which reads, "Track Stops Here". Old pillars and foundations cover the area and a dock sits unused.

    Milnes reopened after some negotiating, in 2006. Unfortunately the operation lasted about 18 months and then closed again. Today you can find the newly constructed buildings sitting vacantly, awaiting the workers.

    Recently the property has been repurposed by a truck operator.
