History of Erin
Wellington County Atlas of 1906, and a Credit Valley Report, indicate that the first sawmill was built by the Trout family in 1826, at the lower dam at Erin. They opened a small store, and made potash, used in soap-making. The sawmill was later taken over by Wm. Chisholm, from whom Daniel McMillan rented the mill.
