The sun sets on a mill and town

The sun sets on a mill and a town. The former paper mill that never slept for years and years is catching up on sleep now. With a very uncertain future everyone expects it faces the same fate as its close neighbor. The Millinocket paper mill has been scrapped. The two mills for a hundred years were by far the largest employers in Northern Maine. For most of their exsistance they were owned by Great Northern Paper Company Once one of the states largest land owners also owned the largest privately owned hydro electric system in the United States.
