     History
    Operating around the same time as the Cowell Lime Works, this mill manufactured parts for the redwood barrels that were used to ship the lime that was produced at the local kilns. In 1913 alone the mill produced 75,000 barrels. The lime that was shipped from these kilns was used for mortar all over California, and played an important part in rebuilding San Fransisco after the 1906 earthquake.

    Note: I have placed the marker on the map at the parking lot. Once there you can just follow the signs to the site, it's clearly marked.
