Dousman’s Mill Opening Day

Discover the awesome power of the water as Dousman’s Mill opens for the 2026 season! Witness the power of the creek harnessed to cut timber into lumber at one of the oldest industrial sites on the Upper Great Lakes. Smell the sawdust as sawyers demonstrate the pit saw method of cutting lumber, then feel the power of the creek used to cut timber inside the reconstructed sawmill. See what happened beyond the mill, and explore the Millwright’s House. Take time to explore the more than three miles of hiking trails also available at Dousman’s Mill! #thisismackinac
