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.
Trails
Self-guided forest trails
complete the story of life in the northern forests of
Minnesota from ancient times to today.
Exhibits
The Forest History Center's interactive
exhibits include a state-of-the-art
timber harvester simulator, a multimedia theater show about forest fires and
many other interactive exhibits about the natural and cultural history of the
forest.
