Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle babble of the stream? That's the millstream right before you. Look up to the old sawmill. Imagine centuries ago, the sound of saws and hammers filled the air here. This mill was the community's heartbeat, where wood for homes and furniture was crafted. Behind you, if you take a glance, you might see the Firehouse, once a vital refuge for the community. And over there to the east, the St. Matthew's Monastery Church stands tall, another testament to the rich history of this area. The sawmill is more than just a building—it's a bridge to the past, telling tales of hard work and community spirit.
