Built between 1909 and 1920 -- dates vary depending on the source -- Hampton Lumber Co. Smokestack is an impressive sight for a smokestock. And while it is one of a few concrete structures from the lumber mill that was here, it hasn't been used since the 1940s. Over the decades, that once employed about 900 people, the mill has been disassembled, but the smokestack remains as a testament to scale of the logging industry in central Lewis County.
