Holt & Balcom Logging Camp No. 1

Holt and Balcom Logging Camp No. 1, generally called Depot Camp, is the oldest standing lumber camp in Wisconsin. It remains where it was originally built in 1880 in what was one of the greatest white pine regions of the Middle West. Expert woodsmen built the camp, as shown by the skilled workmanship of its hewn corners, floors, and bunks. The winding trail along McCaslin Brook served as the supply road over which countless lumberjacks traveled on foot and on bobsleds as they entered and left the woods for over half a century.
