"Timber!"​

Picture
The 19th-century logging industry reshaped the landscape of central and northern Wisconsin, provided a livelihood for thousands of workers, and formed the roots of today's thriving paper industry. By the late nineteenth century, Wisconsin was one of the premier lumber producing states in the U.S., and from 1890 to 1910 forest products led Wisconsin's developing industrial economy.

Four years and 11 months almost to the day that the July 2011 windstorm wreaked havoc on Forts Folle Avoine, a phoenix has risen from the remnants of the damage. Come and visit our new logging museum, constructed from lumber harvested in the aftermath of the storm.

Get an inside look at Burnett County's logging history and view artifacts from our Historical Society's collection.
