Class, Labor and Workers’ Experience in CCI’s Cordwood Lumber Camps

Saturday, October 17, at 1:00, during our 14th Annual Archaeology Fair
Join MI Tech’s Dr. LouAnn Wurst to hear about her research on the Coalwood cord-wood chopper’s sites located in the Hiawatha National Forest. Research from CCI’s payroll records adds new insights into the data recovered from archaeological excavations at four camps dating from 1900-1920, telling the story of the cordwood choppers and their families’ everyday life in the northern forest.

Fair is included with general admission and membership at the sponsor level on up.
