MOORE'S MILL
MOORE'S MILL. Prosperous lumber mill in the late 1800s. Moore's Mill was built in 1876 for $75,000 by W. H. and N. S. Moore.
Until 1876 when the second of two disastrous fires in six years closed the firm, the mill sawed logs that had been rafted down the MISSISSIPPI RIVER. Traces of the mill, which stood in the area now known as Maus Conservation Park, have been demolished over the years. See: DUBUQUE LUMBER COMPANY. (Photo Courtesy: http://www.dubuquepostcards.com)
