A green space and gathering place will be created out of the ashes of a restaurant destroyed in an arson fire in 2011, according to a recent briefing for the Friends of the Black River.
Town of Albion Chair Leonard Olson and supervisors Tom Tomter and Dan Hannan presented an update of the park project planned for the former Rustic Mill restaurant site located on State Hwy. 54, south of Black River Falls.
Before being remodeled in the 1960s, the Rustic Mill was the Charter Oak Mill. Built in the mid-19th century, the grist mill ground grain for area farmers.
“A lot of us have good memories of the Rustic Mill,” FBR member Grady Gutknecht said.
After the fire, charred wreckage remained piled on the site until this year. Acting on complaints the wreckage was a public nuisance and an eyesore, the town pressed the county to allow it to remove the debris.

Co-op Credit Union recently donated supplies and monetary support to area domestic violence shelters through an event held to mark the credit union’s 80th anniversary.
CCU held a week-long supply drive for Bolton Refuge House Inc. and New Horizons Shelter & Outreach Centers Inc. this summer that collected more than 500 items for the two organizations. The credit union also donated $250 to each shelter to help support their programs and services with a match of a dollar for nearly every item collected.
“We’re honored to be able to help important organizations in our region for CCU’s anniversary,” said Eric Chrisinger, CCU’s president and CEO. “Giving back and practicing our ‘People Helping People’ philosophy is part of our mission as a cooperative and credit union.”
CCU received its charter and was officially founded in 1938 in the midst of the Great Depression and at a time of rural electrification when consumers were seeking credit to pay for new appliances.
