The German’s Woollen Mill Ruins are the remains of an 1867 stone yarn and wool mill tucked in the trees along the banks of the Grand River. Abandoned since the 1940s after the rail trail was constructed, its towering walls and arched openings still stand after decades, making it one of the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail’s most fascinating historic landmarks.
