Fossmill

Fossmill was located on the north shore of the Wasi River, about 25 kilometres east of Powassan. Activity commenced as early as 1891 when Robert Thompson established a depot site to supply his camps in the area. In 1902, the depot was flourishing with activity when Bill Foster purchased the property and built his fourth sawmill in the township. The mill ran on timber harvested in a small timber berths of 6.5 square miles (9 square kilometres).
