HUTTON MILLS
Is an abandoned sawmill community, 75 kilometers east of Prince George on the Fraser River. Hutton Mills was established as a tie camp in 1912 during the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. United Grain Growers were one of the several companies that opened a sawmill in Hutton Mills. Hutton Mills had a hospital and a brief population of almost 1,000 by the 1920s. During the Second World War (WWII), Hutton Mills produced birch plywood, a type of wood used in aircraft construction. The last mill in Hutton Mills closed in the 1950s, causing Hutton Mills to be a ghost town.
