The
Stony Creek Sawmill in Greenfield Village is typical of the sawmills found in the late 19th and early 20th century. This sawmill
was built in Greenfield Village in 1938 using some equipment from the Loranger Sawmill in Monroe, Michigan. The sawmill was used
to provide lumber for building construction in the village.
