Forest History Center

Where are we going today?

Recreated turn-of-the-century logging camp

After the exhibits, visit the logging camp where you'll find the camp blacksmith, saw filer, clerk, cook and lumberjacks. Then, board the moored river "wanigan," a floating cook shack used when the logs and men headed downstream to the mills. Then take a seat on the porch of a 1930s Minnesota Forest Service patrolman's cabin and lookout tower and hear about the ranger's important work protecting woodland resources.

Are we there yet?

The Forest History Center is located near U.S. Hwys. 169 and 2.
