A limestone kiln producing 1000 bushels of lime a day was established in the town at the northwest end of 2 Avenue.

The village has a population of less than 300 people. It has a 3 sheet curling rink with artificial ice and hockey arena, a swimming pool, golf course, ball diamonds and playground.[6]

A fire destroyed the village's oldest building, the former Young Hotel, on November 12, 2011. The hotel was built in 1910.[7]
