Opened in 19?? as Weldwood of Canada Inc. Sold in 1984(ish) to G.W. Martin, who operated the plant as GM Martin Veneer Ltd. Almost immediately, Martin started shutting down the plant, and shipping local timber to Sault Ste. Marie for processing. It became apparent that G.W. Martin had bought the mill for the timber, not the mill. With the 150 jobs that the veneer plant offered gone, Searchmont rapidly declined to it's borderline ghost town status. One end of the mill was almost completely destroyed by an arson related fire in February of 2005. With the ski resort on it's way out, Searchmont may be a genuine ghost town in the near future. (A pity, because it is a truly beautiful town)
