History
Hayward and the “Big Mill”
“Anthony Judson
Hayward, 1835 – 1913, found
this an ideal site for a water
powered saw
mill, and
organized the North Wisconsin Lumber Company to harvest the vast pine
stands of
the
upper Namekagon. Their “Big Mill” was
built
beside the dam, began sawing June 11,
1883,
and later made a record day’s cut of 339,313 ft. It remained the heart
of this community
for 40 years.” (Historical Marker across the street from
The Riverside Motel/Mallards’
Landing, State
Road 27 South).
A portion of this land
is now home to The Riverside
Motel and
Mallards’ Landing,
our award winning alpine
log
cabins. The cabins were built in the fall of
1999 by
two German
carpenters. They are made from Northern
European fir, and were designed and
custom
cut in
Germany. The furniture is country style,
and
the headboards are hand made from cut down
pine trees,
also the outside lamp posts. You will enjoy the
unique
setting and landscaping,
also our “rustic rock
collection”.
The rocks were hauled in from appr. 70 miles
away on
deep loaders, the biggest rock
weighing
approximately 12,000 lbs. During the
blooming
season,
you will enjoy a variety of
beautiful
flowers and plants, also small critters
like
chipmunks, squirrels,
and a variety of birds. Bold eagles have their nest nearby. The cabins
are
appr. 25 feet apart on
2 ˝ acres of wooded land
to
ensure your privacy, but still in walking distance to
downtown.
