The large factory is now abandoned and boarded up as well as other buildings, including the railway station.

| Area information The area is best known for the ski resort of the same name located within the community. The town of Searchmont received its name in honor of T.C. Search, the treasurer of the consolidated Lake Superior Company. Searchmont was once a bustling community built around the forestry industry. The local sawmill was the livelihood of most of the residents. When the mill closed in the early 1990s, much of the population moved away. |
