Aberdeen consists of a series of houses in a historical Canadian village site.
School was first taught in local homes, but a log structure was erected in 1854.
James W. Crawford bought the mill, use of the water and dam, and 20 surrounding hectares of land for $3400 - an enormous amount of money for the time - in 1879.
Other businesses included a spinning wheel maker, a weaver, and a cooper shop.
The village boomed and expanded until 1896, when wood for the mill and export began to become scarce.
