This statue was created to honor the men who worked in the woods and mills, carving Forest County out of the wilderness and producing needed goods that helped to propel the building of America. Some of the most successful lumbermen preserved sections of virgin timber - now part of the Allegheny National Forest and Cook Forest State Park - and used wise forest management practices. From "Woodhick" to "Lumber Baron," this statue is dedicated to these men.
