~ North ~
Bacheller's Mills was active from time of early settlement.
A sawmill manufactured long and short lumber, shingles and other wood products.

~ South ~
At Fisk's Mills, Mr. Alden Wing of Wayne built and operated a sawmill and grist mill around 1800. In 1892 a sawmill and "excellent" novelty mill was still in operation at this location.

~ East ~ "The Mills"
Underwood's Mills, in the eastern part of Fayette, was the largest industrial section of this town. There, from the earliest days, were a sawmill, shingle and clapboard mill, tannery, grist mill, wool carding and a cloth dressing establishment. Subsequently, the North Wayne Scythe Company constructed extensive Scythe works here. A fire in 1857 destroyed all the buildings, and a new tannery and scythe shop were rebuilt immediately. A second fire destroyed the tannery a few years later. A sawmill, built on the site of the first one, was still in operation in 1892. For a few years Mr. R.B. Dunn operated the Dunn Edge Tool Company oin this site.
This section of town, on the 1879 map, shows the "Tool Works", Dunn Edge Tool, a store and post office, Bussell Boarding House, school and Hallowell Savings Bank.

~ West ~ "The Corner"
Smith's Sawmill was located on the Fayette / East Livermore town line. In fact, the saw is said to have been directly on the town line, so two men, one at each end of a log would be in separate towns at the same time.
"The Corner", located in the east section of town was at one time "the business center hub" of Fayette. There was, in the early days and for many years, three meeting houses (Baptist, Free Baptist and Methodist), three taverns, and four stores here.
