- Hope Mill is a pioneer water-powered sawmill on the Indian River one mile north of Lang Ontario. Established in 1835 as a carding and fulling mill for processing wool it was converted to a saw mill in the 1880's, after the sawmill in Lang burned. The mill was run by the Hope family until the 1960's. In 2000, after being unused for many years, a volunteer group of retirees started to restore it. That work now completed, the milll is run by their non-profit Friends of Hope Mill whose mission is to preserve the history and demonstrate pioneer sawing.

It’s amazing watching these mills run. With the speed mills run today it’s nice getting to watch something just run and not have to go a million miles per hour
That's bad ass sawmilling. My first mill job was in a similar mill. I was the tail sawyer and edgerman. one guy did the canting, the owner did the sawing, and one other guy tailed the edger and piled the lumber and any railroad ties that got cut. I was making $2.75 an hour and 17 years old.
Great video - thank you! I do have to say I miss swimming there. I think every local kid from the 70's and 80's swam there all summer!
This was a very interesting video to watch. What we do today with gas, or electric power............ They was doing a long time ago and just using water, and more man power.
Makes you appreciate the old days.
Just Awesome .......Thanks!
from all video about saw mill run by water, this is by far the fastest cut mill using water powered

My grand dad had a mill here in Alabama that run on water wish I would of learned the ins and outs 0f how it run
i would like work with you...just for pleasure......ther's just one big trouble with this mill....removing gravel from dam in case of storm
Found out that William Lang and Jane Stewart are my 4th great grandparents. Pretty cool.
Good job guys I wonder what the horsepower rating of that mill with the full amount of water powering it?
We are not really sure what the horsepower is. Theoretically about 40. Whatever it is we need about 4 times more.
You must have a long list of volunters to draw from, working in a mill with little or no PPE and wearing shorts doesnt usuall lead to a long life for your parts
20 years, no major injuries, scrapes and small cuts. Safety boots & glasses. Ken...Lead sawyer.
