Lumbering history on White River
 



Young David Utzinger and his mother, Jennifer Utzinger, a kindergarten teacher for Oakridge Public Schools, looks at the display of log markings from saw mills on White Lake. Huss brought along artifacts from the lumbering era (1880s to early 1900s), including a two-man cross cut saw, measuring stick and a log mark from the museum’s collection. She also explained how the waterfront in Montague and Whitehall was changed with the filling in of the lake with sawdust and pieces of lumber.
