From 1830 to 1880 the community of Lowell Mills thrived here along Driftwood River. There were two grist mills, a cooperage, a shoemaker's shop, a distillery, a saw mill, a woolen mill, an inn and general store. When the mills closed, the town was abandoned.

Clint Fleming: ... My family lives in the house that used to be Lowell Inn. As far as we know, it's the only building still remaining. On our property you can still see old mill stones by the river. 1 February 14, 2008
