Way Back Wednesday Feature: Lumber Camp Buildings 🪓

During Michigan's lumber era, camps like these were home to the loggers who worked tirelessly to fuel a booming industry. Bunkhouses, cook shanties, and supply buildings made up these rugged camps, where long days and hard labor were simply a way of life.

Step inside the Lumber Camp Buildings at Historic White Pine Village and discover what daily life looked like for the men who worked in Michigan's forests. From the tools of the trade to the close quarters they called home, this exhibit tells the story of the industry that built Mason County.

This Way Back Wednesday, take a step back in time and experience the grit and hard work that fueled Michigan's lumber boom.
