Why this spot
1902-1941 lumber and wood chemical town
Lumber town founded in 1902 with five wood-processing firms, including a stave mill, a hub and veneer works and a wood chemical plant, and close to 2,000 people. The forest was cut out, the mills left, a CCC camp occupied the site from 1933, and it was a ghost town by 1941.View source →
