The Bruce Area Historical Society is seeking information about the cabin at Bruce Park.

We’ve been told it may have been built by a member of the Woodmansee family in the 1960s. Our newspaper research from 1961–1967 includes a reference to the cabin in 1967, but we’d like to confirm when it was actually built. If anyone has information or memories to share, please let us know!
