After hemlock trees were felled in the forest by sawyers, barkpeelers stripped the bark from the logs. The bark was transported to tanneries for use in making... leather. Leetonia, a town along Cedar Run, had a successful tannery. The tannery and housing for workers were built in 1878 by William Creighton Lee. By 1883, the town had a population of 700! The town of Leetonia looks a lot different now. If you visit today, you can still see the workers houses and the remains of the tannery which are now private camps. Leetonia Cemetery is on the hill overlooking the tannery. A forest path reveals headstones nestled amongst the ferns. *If you visit, please respect private property.* See more
Inventions from wood that changed the world... The Inuit (indigenous people of northern Canada and parts of Greenland and Alaska) invented goggles fashioned from wood to protect their eyes from over-exposure to sunlight reflected from expanses of snow.
Female Inventors that used wood to change the world..... Ayla Hutchinson saw her mother cut her finger while splitting kindling with a hatchet; so she invented the Kindling Cracker, a cast-iron device that uses a built-in axe blade in a safety cage.
CCC Camp S-135, Dyer Farm, was located in the Susquehannock State Forest just off of Rt. 44 in the South-East corner of Potter County. Today it is the site of t...he Dyer CCC Camping Area, campsites set up to allow camping with horses and horse trailer access. It is also the site of an interpretative trail, with stops highlighting different sections of the former CCC Camp. Pictured is the last stop on the trail, which looks on to a Cabin that once served as the Camp Office. The men of S-135 worked on many trails in the area, including the Rob Horse Trail, visible on the map and seen in the photo of the two CCC enlistees sitting under the trail sign.
