At these piers\, Wisconsin’s forests were exchanged for manufac-tured goods and new settlers. The piers and their associated general stores and lumber mills became seeds around which busy shipping hubs\, villages\, and towns grew and briefly thrived\, and helped to decide the future of east-ern Wisconsin’s economy. Though creations of the 19th century lumber boom\, they and their owners helped to save the lakeshore counties when na-ture and waste turned against local residents\, and provided the means for life to continue when the trees were gone. Ongoing research by archaeologists and divers with the Wisconsin Historical Society is bringing back the stories of lost communities such as Ronksville\, Carlton\, and Langworthy\, telling for-gotten tales of life in Wisconsin’s Ghost Ports. \nPresenter: Dr. Amy Rosebrough is a Staff Archaeologist with the Office of the State Archaeologist at the Wisconsin Historical Society\, where she manages archaeological and burial sites data\, assists Wisconsin’s citizens with archaeological questions\, and serves as a subject matter expert. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g9na5E-QQYa-XSUH–Ue6A\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.

From early military logging efforts at Prairie du Chien (Fort Crawford)\, Portage (Fort Winnebago) and Green Bay (Fort Howard)\, through the more commonly known commercial logging of the 1840’s-1900’s\, the 19th century loggers of Wisconsin produced thousands of archaeological sites ranging from lumber camps\, to drag roads\, dam’s and spillways and even whole “Company” logging towns. \nThis talk will discuss how archaeologists currently address the periods and varieties of historical logging sites in Wisconsin\, and discuss specific “logging artifacts” that are common finds on logging sites in the region tell us more about how these historic loggers lived and worked. Finally\, historic logging sites of the early 20th century associated with interesting historic events such as WWII (German POW logging) and the Great Depression (Civilian Conservation Corp-CCC logging) that are only now becoming old enough to study with archaeological digs will be discussed. \nPresenter: Ryan J. Howell\, M.A.\, RPA\, WAS\, Garrison Archaeologist- U.S. Army\, Fort McCoy.  Ryan has conducted archaeological research in Wisconsin\, and particularly northern Wisconsin for more than 25 years\, He is currently the Garrison Archaeologist at Fort McCoy for the U.S Army. He received his B.A in Archaeology/Anthropology from the University of Wyoming and his Master’s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998. He has worked doing archaeology for many private\, tribal and government sectors throughout the Upper Midwest\, with former employers as diverse as the Center for Environmental Management on Military Lands (CEMML)\, the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Research Center (MVAC)\, private engineering firms and the Prairie Island M’dewankanton Dakota tribe. His research interests include both the pre-contact and historic contact eras of Wisconsin history\, with specific published articles focused on the ancient Native American sites\, sites of the Fur Trade/Colonial era\, logging archaeology and 20th century military archaeology. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_E8GFk-9TQMuckYIK_78aoA\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.

There also are shots of log drives and log jams in rivers of this region. Nearly all of the images are of people and places in Wisconsin\, Upper Michigan and Minnesota. Most of them were taken prior to 1910. \nIn this presentation we’ll share some of these images along with related stories\, and explain how you can access the images for your own research. \nPresenter: Don Schnitzler is a member of the Forest History Association of Wisconsin Board of Directors\, and serves as the Association’s newsletter editor \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6djQggNpQLyY0C3LpJMENw\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.
