Open Thursdays April-November 9:30-4 pm Circa 1835 William Lang and his wife Jane (Stewart) Lang built a carding and fulling mill on the Indian River, a mile north of the village of Lang. The sawmill in Lang burned in 1873 and shortly thereafter, William and his son-in-law Richard Hope added a saw house to their mill. By 1892 the wool and card
ing business was discontinued and the Hope family provided much-needed lumbering services to the community until 1966. The original sawmill and wood-finishing equipment have been fully restored.
