Nature Is Reclaiming This One Abandoned Oregon Spot And It's Actually Amazing

This abandoned mill in Oregon is truly a sight to behold. You will find this Vernonia mill hiding in the beautiful Vernonia Lake Park. It’s just one of many intriguing places you can find in our lovely state when you are looking for some great new adventures. You might not initially think of the Beaver State as a place to go when you want to see abandoned places, but in fact, there are a lot of unique spots that were once something completely different than they are now. This fascinating ruin was once a part of the Oregon-American Lumber Company, up until 1957 when it was closed. However, the concrete foundation of the old mill’s enormous fuel bunker still remains; nowadays the floor is carpeted in fallen leaves, moss inches over the graffitied walls, and the only ceiling is the sky above. Over the years trees have also grown here, slowly stretching out their limbs as nature patiently reclaims this unique, historic abandoned mill. It really is a one-of-a-kind place to visit.
