Spring Hill Historic Commission Speaker Series presents Phil Bennett telling the story of the timber and lumber industry in and around Spring Hill after the civil war.

Found out what famous citizen brought steam-powered machinery to the area, including those used to mill the lumber from this area’s virgin forests, including trees 3,000 years old.

You’ll see just how big these trees were: seven men could sit in the wedge cut out to make the tree fall. Found out all about the industry that once thrived here and what happened to it. Refreshments served.
