About Millwood

Millwood was a lumber boomtown located in present-day Sequoia National Forest near Converse Basin Grove in California, United States. It was established in 1891 by the Kings River Lumber Company and was connected to the Sequoia Railroad, which brought logs to the town to be turned into rough lumber.
