Seven Men Lounging in front of Log Cabin
Crawford Livingston, wearing white shirt with a straw boater hat laying on the ground in front of him, and six friends are in various longing positions in front of a vertical log one-story structure at a former logging camp. A few large pine trees and some stumps are around the lawn. Some foliage, possibly hollyhocks, are growing along the base of the log cabin. In 1902, the log cabin became the main lodge at Forest Lodge when Crawford Livingston purchased the property. |

Forest Lodge on Lake Namakagon was originally the Northern Wisconsin Lumber Company. In 1902 Crawford Livingston purchased 100 acres of the lake shore property for hunting and vacation purposes. Crawford Livingston’s daughter Mary Livingston Griggs and granddaughter Mary Griggs Burke continued to maintain and expand the property until Mary Burke’s death in 2012 when all 872 acres of Forest Lodge were entirely gifted to the U.S. Forest Service. |
