Educational Programming 2010

Eagle River Historical Society

"The Eagle River Historical Society is dedicated to insuring the preservation of local history, creating and promoting public interest in the preservation of our history and and its many cultures, collecting and identifying materials of historical value and providing a facility to house, display, and preserve those materials."

The photo above is of the "Eagle", a steam-powered side-wheeler that pulled rafts of logs from the "Bullpen" (the bay by the "T"" docks) down to the Gerry Lumber Co. sawmill located where Eagle River Marine (formerly Heckel's) is now. As one can see, it has men and women on it and is probably on a Sunday picnic outing circa 1885-1890. That's the White Spruce log cabin on the shore in the background.

Teaching Drum School - Native Skills

Native skills will be demonstrated as primitive crafts are being taught to spectators as they visit the primitive camp setting of a village back in time. They learn old skills of their ancestors - how to gather edible and medicinal plants, how to tan hides, trap fish, to make twine and baskets, as well as a dugout canoe.
