| | A part of our mission at the Woodsmen Show is to provide education on
the history
of our area, the great woods of Pennsylvania or as it is now called - the
Pennsylvania Wilds. In cooperation with DCNR, we are pleased to present the
Woodhick Grove.
WOODHICK GROVE
August 5 and 6, 2011
10 AM - 4 PM
 |
Travel back in time to the good ol’
days of the “wood hick”. Learn
the life of a logger during the area’s logging boom, through live
demonstrations and historically accurate reenactments.
The loggers weren’t the only ones who labored hard
in the lumber camps, be sure to visit the Grove’s blacksmith as he
demonstrates his skills and shows his wares throughout the day on both days. |

Van Wagner once worked as a coal miner, a logger and
is now a songwriter, schoolteacher and historical interpreter, which he

Van performs live shows throughout Pennsylvania and throughout the year.
Through music, laughter and a whole lot of culture, his program
celebrates the past, present and future of Pennsylvania’s lumber heritage.
