Christmas morning provided a surprise to the owners of Eagle Point's historic Butte Creek Mill, but not the pleasant kind.
The mill burned to the ground before dawn, leaving the community without its centerpiece of more than a century.
Any doubts about the future were quickly erased, though, as owner (and Eagle Point Mayor) Bob Russell declared "We Will Rebuild."
Bob Russell visits the studio to talk about the old mill's history... and the new mill's future.
