Ryfors - an old customs mill along the Jälmåleden road
Here, from 1858 there was a so-called "Customs mill" that the peasants shared in common. The term "duty mill" meant that the miller as a salary for his work had the right to "troll", that is to say. He had to retain a certain portion of the received grain for his own needs. This wage form was not unusual for millers in the past. Rydfors has had several owners, among other things. AB Papyrus and later Janne in Moghult, which was actually Jan Larsson. He leased out the mill to Paul Johansson. During the midsummer period of 1927 a heavy rain fell, causing a heavy flood in Jälmån. The dam at Rydfors failed to resist the water masses without the burst. At that time the mill was on the western side of the river and one saw the east.
Ture Karlsson bought the mill in 1933 and built the building for the year and a new mill at the place it is today. He also installed two turbines with associated power generators. The mill is now closed and electricity production is renovated 2011-2012.
