The Forest History Center brings to life a recreated 1900s-era logging camp and floating cook shack moored on the Mississippi River. The site also includes a 1930s forest ranger's cabin, fire tower, self-guided trails and a visitor center with interactive exhibits about Minnesota’s forests. The Forest History Center is located at 2609 County Road 76, near Highways 169 and 2 in Grand Rapids.

John Beltman from the Forest History Center joined us today as we continued our conversation about winter events in 2022.

The Forest History Center is excited to bring back their Christmas in a Logging Camp event Saturday December 10th from 10-4 with draft horses, Santa, cocoa and cookies.
