This mill site was established around 1816 when Isiah Bryant and John Wallace built a wood-frame mill here. This particular mill was built in 1848 by William Elliot, where the original mill stood. It was constructed from limestone that was quarried from Four Mile Creek, which was the same creek that supplied the water power to the undershot waterwheel. In 1853, a tragic accident inside the mill claimed Elliot's life. William Lane purchased the mill after Elliot's death. It became known as Lane's Mill from then on. William successfully operated the mill up until 1898. Lane's Mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Despite that, there has been no attempt to preserve or restore it. Unfortunately, it's a little too late now, this mill is doomed.
