Formally known as the the Pacific Mill, the Lyman Mill established economic and social growth during the towns upbringing. This stretch of land started out as a small farming community with only one shop until the mid 20's. The mill was built on 700 acres and quickly expanded; building homes for the workers, a community center, churches, even a National Guard armory and because of this many recreational activities were also created for the flourishing town. Sadly, the mill closed its door in '05, now finding itself standing the test of time. It seems Mother Nature has come to take back some of the land once purchased, peaking through the concrete and growing in the cracks of the roads. I walked up to the site not knowing a lick about anything and left with much curiosity and a bit of uneasiness. The buildings that are left are slowly falling apart and are unsafe to enter. Pieces of the white structure can be found everywhere -- glass under every step and parts of the interior living on the exterior. Graffiti, along with grass and vines, encompass the white building. Notes, hieroglyphs, art from past visitors, aliens and such, give so little info to their actions and chosen words it honestly leaves me curious and enthusiastic -- wondering why. I laugh at some of the scribbles and at others I find myself getting chills. Most of the damage looks to be intentional and some bits seem to just happen. Great little piece of old treasure, right here. Can't wait to go back.
