Look at life-size history at Eckley
Miners’ Village, an authentic 19th-
century mining town. Eckley was
once a thriving, company-owned

to glimpse a past way of life. The
kitchens and bedrooms, personal
items, clothes, chairs, outhouses, and
laundry rooms all remain as if last
used yesterday! See homes, churches,
social clubs, general store, doctor’s
offi ce, and other buildings. Weather

into varying width boards solely by
power generated from the adjacent

for signs on the Hancock Highway
(Route 191) between Rileyville
and Equinunk. From Route 191
(Hancock Highway) see signs; turn
onto Creek Road, then right on
Kellam Road and immediately turn
left on Duck Harbor Road. Distance
from the highway is about 3/10 mile.
If you would like to make a day of it,
after your sawmill visit, travel north
to the Equinunk Historical Society
Museum and Calder Gift Shop in
the center of historic Equinunk. For
more information or directions, call
