Cedar Mill, 1859

Title

Cedar Mill, 1859

Description

Handmade quilt square which depicts sawmill and pond as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. Description from accompanying pamphlet: BLOCK 13 THE CEDAR MILL by Judy Ackerman. The mill that gives the community its name stood at the falls and was built the year Oregon was admitted to the Union, 1859. Dam was built across the creek at the falls, forming a large mill pond. Justus Jones and his son founded and operated the mill until 1869 when they sold to Young and Everson. In summer, teams of oxen pulled the newly logged cedar down the skid roads to the mill pond. The sawing was done in the winter when the water flow was sufficient to power the wheel.
