Dive into a period of Fresno County history when Sierra timber was felled in response to the population boom of the late 1800s, and the railroad’s need for lumber. Meet the timber men at the center of sawmill activity. See their mills and learn how they moved giant logs. Get a glimpse of life on Pine Ridge, and what the women and children did to escape snowy winters.
