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.
