COOKSBURG — In the middle of the forest is a small museum with a big story to tell: lumbering on the Clarion River.
Sue Rensel, a naturalist at Clear Creek State Park, recently conducted a tour of the Lumber and Nature Museum and two sawmill sites in the park. The story unfolds during the peak of the timber industry on the Clarion River and ends with reforestation efforts by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
