===Historical markers=== There are two historical markers in Mio. * Mio Hydroelectric Plant was built in 1916 on the lower Au Sable River. William W. Tefft, a [[Consumers Energy|Consumers Power]] civil and hydraulic engineer, invented and patented the so-called "conduit spillway", which channels excessive flow through channels built into the plant. This was the first plant to use it, and it is cheaper than other forms of spillways.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |title=Mio electric Plant historical marker |access-date=February 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315141338/http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=usurped |df=mdy-all }}</ref> * [[Oscoda County Courthouse]] was built in 1888.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webarchives.cdlib.org/sw1hm53n4b/http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/Population/Photos/ShowCH.asp?FIPS=26135|title=Web Archives: View Archived Page|work=cdlib.org|access-date=December 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |title=Mio historical markers |access-date=February 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315141338/http://www.michmarkers.com/Frameset.htm |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=usurped |df=mdy-all }}</ref> It was destroyed by a fire on May 5, 2016.
