![]() Kerry Kelly 2006 The Kropp family was in the lumber business. They had several teams of horses and hired workers who would drive their teams to the south as far as Cedar and MapleCity to get logs from the forest and haul them to the dock at GoodHarbor. They needed a large granary to store the feed for the horses. They also had a large barn for hay and to house the horses and to store the harnesses and other equipment. The barn no longer remains. It would take a day for the teamsters to take a team of horses to the forest to pick up a load of logs. They would stay at the lumber camp and then it would take a day to drive the load to the dock. Then they would stay at the Kropp house overnight before heading back for another load. ![]() Kerry Kelly 2006 ![]() Susan Pocklington, Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear 2021 |
