Go back in time for a look at logging in the early 1900's at a historic site in Minnesota
We take you back to the early days of logging at the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids. In the early 1900’s, as America continued to grow, so did the timber industry. This Minnesota Historic Site recreates the every day life in a logging camp: with everything from real horse-powered logging, right down to the flapjack breakfast.
