*FREE TO ATTEND*
Mid Michigan College
Harrison Campus | Esther C. Conference Room
Discover the world of log marks with Jon Ringelberg, member of Clare County Historical Society and known as the 'Log Mark Guy'. Jon served as a District Court Judge in Clare and Gladwin Counties from 1969 to 1985, has taken 18 backcountry trips to Isle Royale National Park, been a member of Clare County Historical Society for 12 years, and is now researching and cataloging log marks from every county in the state.
Log marks, similar to cattle brands, established the ownership of timber during the logging era and date back to the 1860s, with the earliest surviving log mark registration for Clare County dating back to 1878.
Explore the rich history of logging, local lumber history, and log marks during this lively discussion with Jon Ringelberg—a true local with a love of the area!
