Marine Mill is a historic site in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, USA. It was Minnesota's first commercial sawmill, operating from 1839 to 1895 on a bluff overlooking the St. Croix River. The buildings were torn down when the mill closed, and today all that is visible are the overgrown ruins of the foundations. The site is operated by the Minnesota Historical Society.[2]
