Statement of Significance
The remains of the sawmill date from the 1880s. There are remain include four large wooden stumps, a narrow trench 8 metres by 1.5 metres and a depression which may have been an underground cellar or dairy. Though the remains are in poor condition, this site is significant for being the only identified example of 19th century sawmill in the St. Arnaud region. The remains indicate the use of the forest land in the area for timber getting purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.
