Wisconsin Rapids Lumber Landmark
This huge log was cut from a mighty white pine which grew Southwest of the armory on Second Avenue South in Wisconsin Rapids and escaped the axe of the lumberjacks for many decades. The tree was 181 years of age. It was 78 years old and quite a tree when the civil war ended.
This huge log is 18 feet long and has a diameter of 41 inches. It contains over 500 board feet of lumber. Logs such as this provided the raw material for the log drivers down the Wisconsin River and for the local lumber mills in the early pioneer days of this city. Placed to rest in the year nineteen hundred sixty-seven AD.
This historical landmark can be found on the walking path in Ben Hanson Park.
