Biographical or Historical Note

Located on Green Hill Road. Considered one of the last great mills of its kind, this mill has survived since 1914. It was originally built in the 1880s on the Korbel property near the Russian River. It was passed to Mr. Michael Sugarman, of the hardware store on 4th Street in Santa Rosa, and later to Mr. Meeker, for whom Camp Meeker is named. It was purchased from Meeker by Wade Sturgeon in 1913 and was dismantled and moved to Sturgeon's Coleman Valley site where Sturgeon began his lumber business in 1914. The mill was moved again to its current site in Occidental in 1924 where it has since remained. In 1943 Wade's son Ralph Sturgeon and his friend James Henningsen bought and ran the mill.
