WhentheBigTreesFell
Presented by David and Al Eicher
Two-hundred years ago, the early pioneers of the Michigan territory wrote about the majestic forests, the tall white pines, and the great oaks. Come explore Michigan's first settlements and earliest forms of lumber harvesting, and the important roles of diverse groups of people throughout Michigan's forests, sawmills, and towns - back when white pine was King!
This presentation is focused primarily towards an adult audience, though children are welcome.
FEE: Included with the price of admission.
