Acadia Paper Mill

The Acadia Paper Mill was established in Nova Scotia by Anthony Henry Holland sometime between 1817 and 1819.

Early paper makers included two sons-in-law of Holland; John Campbell and Samuel Courtney.

From 1839 to 1841, Charles Fenerty experimented with wood fibers at this mill.

The Canadian inventor produced the first sheet of paper made from wood pulp in North America.
