The building of Interstate 84 in New York resulted in the demolition of much of the historic center to build Exit 17 at Ludingtonville Road, which Ludington Mill survived until a fire burnt it down in 1972--mere months before Putnam's historical society was to restore it. Today Kent Historic Society has made restoring Ludington's mill its project.[2]
