Jones Sawmill

The saw mill was found on eBay by a member of a Rusk County saw mill family. He contacted Hudson Timber Products, who was running the ad and asked if they would consider making a donation to the Depot Museum. They said yes and the 1930's style round saw blade mill was shipped from Barnhill, New York in 2003. The saw mill was installed by the East Texas Antique Tractor Assn. under Alton Jones. It sawed its first logs at the 2004 Heritage Syrup Festival.
