These remnants are from a historic Barrel Mill, which used the wood from the surrounding redwood trees between 1912 and 1925 to cut staves for wooden barrels, mostly for lime (burned nearby), as well as wine and other liquid storage. The ruins rest on a low terrace of the Fall creek in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
