Description: Packard Sawmill was an industrial facility in the town of Twin Peaks. The mill was founded in the late 1880s by James Packard on two acres by Black Lake Falls with eight employees. After an altercation with Kwakiutl Indians over the land, the mill was built, and its saw was originally powered by the water above the falls it was built next to. The original mill's structure was razed in 1922 and was rebuilt across 25 acres by James’ son, Thomas. The employment had grown to 100 people by 1924.
