A mill at the former Lincoln village
An 1885 photograph of Graham’s Mill introduces the former lumber village of Lincoln near Lincoln Lake, north of Ludington. Mill buildings, a smokestack and workers show the scale of an operation connected with John Graham and his son, Edmond Alfred Graham. This Michigan Moments episode examines the industrial community that preceded the shoreline’s later resort use.
The Graham family and Epworth Heights
The story connects the mill with the Graham family’s work in Michigan transportation and the later development of Epworth Heights. The photograph provides the starting point for following a place whose purpose changed as the lumber business receded. The related Thumbwind article supplies additional context about Lincoln, the mill and the people associated with it.
