COMMENTS: Residents - Semi-Ghost REMAINS: Few structures that are extate to the original town. Some pilings of the sawmill and some of the packing house next to the tracks

Limestone grew up when the railroad was built in 1913. It was principally a lumber manufacturing town. The Germain Lumber Company operated a large mill there for several years. The town declined during the depression. The sawmill was dismantled, the school has been torn down, and the packing house is gone. Submitted by: Mike Woodfin
