Employees and their families and area residents gathered at Smoky Bear Park for festivities.
Mill Manager Bert Brown says it's the people that have helped keep the mill going for the past century.
"Really the cornerstone of the mill is the people," says Brown. "It's people inside the mill. It's relations they've built both inside and outside the mill and it's the community."
The mill opened in June 1910 under the guise of Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company, four years before the Fort Frances operation.
