Helen McCann White interviewed several local folks back in 1955 the history of the St Croix River logging for the US Forest Service. They were tape recorded.
Two tapes have been transcribed and make interesting reading!

Spent a few hours at the Museum in Cushing planning on doing some cleaning to get ready for the open house this Saturday at the River Road Ramble. However, a visitor doing research on the Spangler family (of Spangler's landing on the St Croix River) got me to visiting. Luckily Margo was along and ran the vacuum cleaner! She is on the noon-3pm shift Saturday to host the museum with her friend, Marlys. Open 9-5.
Another historical stop is the Eureka Townhall a few miles south of Cushing. The Wolf Creek School (now the Methodist Church) is also open with food and a jumble sale.
In St Croix Falls, the St Croix Scenic River hdqrts is a nice place to stop to learn about the St Croix River history. They have a nice online book
