Description
Black and white photograph of workers at the Wylie Cooperage Company factory with barrel staves. The cooperage operated from 1897 to 1914, and made barrels from the hardwood that remained after lumbering ended in the Pine forests. The Manistee & North-Eastern railroad brought in logs and shipped out staves, heads, hoops, and barrels to places like Chicago meat-packing plants. The Wylie company town was located north of the State Park on Duck Lake, and was eventually incorporated into the Interlochen Center for the Arts.
