Description
Keegan, a village in Van Buren, was home to a successful lumbermill along the St. John River in the first half of the 20th century. Initially owned and operated by the St. John Lumber Company, it was operated by the Madawaska Company when it caught fire in 1930.
This image may be of the Madawaska Company mill or the rebuilt mill after the 1930 fire. The two structures closest to the river appear in good condition, and may lend to the post-fire era, although the mill was less than 30 years old when it burned in 1930.
