Planing Mill - Built 1875
James Pett built the planing mill for the Brigham City Co-op. It produced cabinetry and furniture as well as square nails.
After the co-op closed, John Finley Merrell bought the planing mill, and it has been operated by four generations of the Merrell family.
This sign has been funded by a grant from the Division of State History with matching funds provided by the Sons of Utah Pioneers, Box Elder Chapter.
