LAONA - Camp 5 Logging Museum in Laona opened for the 2015 season on June 25. The historic Lumberjack Steam train has been riding the rails for 99 years. This year, the museum has partnered with several other museums across the Northwoods to help increase tourism.
"W.D. Connor bought the 4-Spot from the Fairchild Lumber Company in Eau Claire," said Sara Connor, Executive Director of the Camp 5 Logging Museum. "It was used as a logging railroad; it went from the sawmill out to the junction, and it was about a 17-mile hauling of lumber and finished products."
Now, the Lumberjack Special serves as a ride to a museum dedicated to Wisconsin's logging history.
