| In addition
to our Festival of Adventures fur trade rendezvous, we also offer
an 1890s pinery camp experience. In the era that followed the
statewide Jack Pine harvest, White Oak became an important replacement
to Jack Pine. During the pinery camp era, White Oak was cut as
a hardwood. White Oak was used in the making of furniture and
for cooperage. As the river pigs floated the White Oak logs to
the mill, deer would gather along the river to drink. Deer and
the river were the constant companions of the men as they floated
White Oak to the mill each spring. |
