  1. Local Happening - Burning of Carrigans Mill

    Share Share Post
    Carrigan's mill was burned in the year 1920. It took fire at night. The oatmeal bags and everything were burned. It is not known how this fire started.
    People who were a few miles off saw the light in the sky but nobody knew what it was. The ruins of this mill can still be seen. They were going to build it up again but they thought it would take too much money. I think they are going to tumble the old walls as they are afraid that they might fall and kill someone.
